Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

JACKSON DANIEL BARILLAS RESINOS,

Petitioner, ORDER v. 6:25-CV-6689-EAW

TAMMY MARICH, in her official capacity as Acting Field Office Director, Buffalo Field Office, Enforcement and Removal Operations, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, et al.,

Respondents.

Petitioner Jackson Daniel Barillas Resinos (“Petitioner”) is a civil immigration detainee alleging that that he is being detained in United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody pending removal proceedings in violation of the United States Constitution and seeks relief under

28 U.S.C. § 2241

. (Dkt. 1). Petitioner is being held at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York. (Id. at ¶ 1). On November 12, 2025, this Court issued orders in four separate cases commenced pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2241

(Quituizaca Quituisaca v. Bondi, 25-cv-6527; Najeem v. Freden, 25-cv-6584; Mendoza v. Bondi, 25-cv-954; and Martinez v. Bondi, 25-cv-6508), finding that noncitizens who are present in the United States without having been admitted or paroled are not subject to mandatory detention under

8 U.S.C. § 1225

(b)(2) but instead are subject to detention under section 1226. The Court has since entered written decisions in Quituizaca Quituisaca v. Bondi, No. 6:25-CV-6527-EAW,

2025 WL 3264440

(W.D.N.Y.

Nov. 24, 2025), and Lieogo v. Freden, No. 6:25-CV-06615 EAW,

2025 WL 3290694

(W.D.N.Y. Nov. 26, 2025), further explaining and confirming those determinations. On November 21, 2025, the Court directed Respondents to show cause on or before December 1, 2025, why, in light of those decisions, the petition in this case should not be granted to the extent it seeks a bond hearing, and the Court should not order that Petitioner receive a bond hearing at which the government bears the burden to demonstrate, by clear and

convincing evidence, that Petitioner is a danger to the community or a flight risk and at which the immigration judge must consider non-bond alternatives to detention or, if setting a bond, Petitioner’s ability to pay. (Dkt. 2). In response to the order to show cause, Respondents acknowledge that this Court’s prior rulings in the four identified cases concern the same or similar challenges to the

government policy or practice at issue in the instant petition and would direct the same outcome in this matter entitling Petitioner to a bond hearing. (Dkt. 4). The Court agrees. Accordingly, for the same reasons set forth in Quituizaca Quituisaca,

2025 WL 3264440

, and Lieogo,

2025 WL 3290694

, the petition is granted to the extent that Petitioner seeks a bond hearing, and a bond hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the

following terms: 1. Petitioner shall be granted a bond hearing before an immigration judge (“IJ”) on or before December 3, 2025. If Petitioner requests a continuance that results in a bond hearing date outside this deadline, such a continuance will comply with this Order as long as the new date falls within a reasonable time period.

2. At this bond hearing, the government will have the burden to demonstrate dangerousness or flight risk by clear and convincing evidence. In deciding whether the government has met its burden of proof, the IJ must consider whether less-restrictive alternatives to detention can reasonably address the government’s interest in Petitioner’s continued detention. 3. If the IJ finds that the government has not met its burden, then in setting any

bond the IJ must consider Petitioner’s ability to pay and alternative conditions of release. 4. Thus, in order to continue Petitioner’s detention after any bond hearing, the IJ must find by clear and convincing evidence and make findings that no condition or combination of conditions of release can reasonably ensure Petitioner’s appearance and the safety of the community—that is, even with conditions, Petitioner presents an identified

and articulable risk of flight or a threat to another person or the community. 5. Respondents are directed to file a status update with the Court on or before December 5, 2025. 6. Any response by Petitioner to Respondents’ motion to extend the time for them to respond to Petitioner’s deferred action termination and Administrative Procedures

Act claims (Dkt. 5) is due on or before December 3, 2025. Respondents’ deadline to respond to these claims is stayed pending resolution of the motion for an extension of time. SO ORDERED. ? fi LIZABETHWA. WOEFORD Chief Judge United States District Court Dated: November 26, 2025 Rochester, New York
