Regino M.Q.: Man in U.S. 40 years held by ICE without bond hearing

A Mexican man who has lived in the U.S. for nearly 40 years was detained in May; a court ordered he be given a bond hearing within seven days but denied his request for immediate release.

May 11, 2026Country of origin: Mexico

A Mexican citizen who entered the United States without inspection in November 1986 and lived in the country for nearly 40 years was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on May 11, 2026. The government initially claimed he was subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2), but the court found his detention governed by § 1226(a). The court granted in part the petition for habeas corpus, ordering respondents to provide him with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge within seven days, while denying his request for immediate release.
