Noncitizen Released After Court Rules on Pre-Deprivation Bond Hearing
Jul 13, 2026
Balvant Singh, a noncitizen, was re-detained on June 26, 2026, after having been previously released on bond or conditional parole. The government failed to provide Singh with a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter before re-detaining him, violating the Due Process Clause. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California granted Singh's petition for writ of habeas corpus and motion for temporary restraining order, ordering his immediate release with the same conditions he was subject to prior to detention, and requiring the government to provide at least seven days' notice and a pre-deprivation bond hearing before any future re-detention.
