Ramon R.C. v. Samuel J. Olson, Field Office Director of Enforcement and Removal...

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA

Ramon R.C., File No. 25-cv-3811 (ECT/LIB) Petitioner, v. ORDER Samuel J. Olson, Field Office Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations, St. Paul Field Office, Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Kristi Noem, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Todd Lyons, in his official capacity as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Joel Brott, Sherburne County Jail Sheriff, Respondents.

Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) dated December 30, 2025. ECF No. 21. Judge Brisbois recommends Petitioner Ramon R.C.’s Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus [ECF No. 8] be granted to the extent he seeks a bond hearing. ECF No. 21 at 15. Respondents object to the R&R, arguing Ramon is correctly detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) and thus, subject to mandatory detention. ECF No. 22. Because Respondents have objected, the R&R is subject to de novo review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 72.2(b)(3). Upon that review, I conclude Judge Brisbois’s analysis and conclusions align with my own prior decisions and are correct. See Fernando F.P.D. v. Brott, No. 25-cv-4455 (ECT/ECW), 2025 WL 3675151 (D. Minn. Dec. 17, 2025); Ahmed M. v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-4711 (ECT/SGE), 2026 WL 25627 (D. Minn. Jan. 5, 2026). Therefore, based on the foregoing and on all the files, records, and proceedings in the above-captioned matter, IT IS ORDERED THAT: 1. The Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 21] is ACCEPTED in full.

2. Respondents’ Objection to the Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 22] is OVERRULED.

3. Petitioner Ramon R.C.’s Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus [ECF No. 8] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART as follows: a. The Petition is GRANTED to the extend Ramon seeks a bond hearing.

Respondents shall provide Ramon with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within seven (7) days. b. The Petition is DENIED to the extent Ramon seeks his immediate release.

4. Petitioner Ramon R.C.’s initial Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction [ECF No. 2] is DENIED AS MOOT.

5. Petitioner Ramon R.C.’s Amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction [ECF No. 10] is DENIED to the extent it seeks an order precluding Respondents from transferring Petitioner out of this District during the pendency of this action. The remainder of the motion is DENIED AS MOOT.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
