UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 
 
CASE NO. 26- 23427-CV-DIMITROULEAS 
LUIS MILAGROS FELIZ FELIZ, 
 
 Petitioner,  
v.  
 
U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS  
ENFORCEMENT (ICE), et al., 
 
 Respondents. 
     / 
 
ORDER GRANTING IN PART PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS 
 
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Petitioner Johan Sebastian Palomino-Granada 
(“Petitioner”)’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 [DE 1], filed May 
15, 2026. The Court has considered the Petition [DE 1], Respondents’ Response [DE 9] and 
Respondents’ Response to the Order to Show Cause [DE 12] and is otherwise fully advised in 
the premises.   
Based on the recent ruling by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Hernandez 
Alvarez v. Warden, Federal Detention Center Miami, et al., Case Nos. 25-14065; 25-14075 
(May 6, 2026), §1225(b)(2)(A) does not apply to Petitioner. Rather, § 1226(a) and its 
implementing regulations govern Petitioner’s detention, entitling Petitioner to an individualized 
bond hearing as a detainee under § 1226(a). See id. The Court takes no position as to whether 
Petitioner should be granted release on bond by the Immigration Judge, just that Petitioner is 
entitled to an individualized bond hearing. The Court will not require Petitioner to first request a 
bond hearing from the immigration court; it is now clear that Petitioner seeks a bond hearing.  
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Petition [DE 1] is 
GRANTED IN PART as follows:  
Case 1:26-cv-23427-WPD   Document 13   Entered on FLSD Docket 06/01/2026   Page 1 of 2

2026) and § 1226(a). 
2. The bond hearing shall occur within seven days, by June 8, 2026. Respondents shall

an individualized bond hearing was afforded and (2) the outcome of that bond 
hearing.  
3. A hearing in this matter is hereby set for 1:00 P.M. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, in
