(Judge Rambo)

MEMORANDUM
Before the court is Raogo Ouedraogo’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (Doc. No. 1.) The government has responded and
does not oppose Ouedraogo’s entitlement to a bond hearing before an immigration
judge. See Chavez-Alvarez v. Warden York County Prison, 783 F.3d 469 (3d Cir.
2015); Demore v. Kim, 538 U.S. 510 (2003); Singh v. Sabol, Civ. No. 14-cv-1927,
2015 WL 3519075 (M.D. Pa. June 4, 2015).
It appears that Ouedraogo has been held in custody by ICE since May 5,
2016 and under the aforesaid case law is entitled to a bond hearing. An
appropriate order will follow.
