Judge(s): COLE, CLAY, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

CLAY, Circuit Judge. In this consolidated appeal, Respondents appeal various district court grants of petitions for habeas corpus. Petitioners are noncitizens without lawful status who were detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A).1 The district courts granted Petitioners’ habeas petitions, finding that the government did not lawfully detain Petitioners under § 1225(b)(2)(A) and that Petitioners’ detention without a bond hearing violated their Fifth Amendment due process rights. For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the district courts’ judgments.
