APPEARANCES: MIKHAIL USHER
Usher Law Group, PC

On behalf of Respondent. VAZQUEZ, United States District Judge
Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on January 16, 2017. (ECF No. 1.) He alleges a violation of his right to due process based on prolonged pre-final removal order detention in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ("ICE"). (Id.) Petitioner is confined in Essex County Correctional Facility, and he has been in custody since May 19, 2016. (Id., ¶10.)
Respondent submitted a letter response to the petition on March 27, 2017. (ECF No. 4.) Respondent does not object to a remand ordering an Immigration Judge to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing, in accordance with 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(c). The Court will, therefore, grant the habeas petition and order Respondent to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing. See Chavez-Alvarez v. Warden York County Prison, 783 F.3d 469, 478 (3d Cir. 2015) (due process requires that detention without bail pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) be limited to a reasonable period of time to further the goals of the detention statute.) An appropriate Order follows. Date: March 29, 2017
At Newark, New Jersey
