UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

FORT MYERS DIVISION

JOSE MANUEL JARDON

FEBLES,

Petitioner,

v. Case No.: 2:26-cv-01615-SPC-NPM

WARDEN, GLADES COUNTY

DETENTION CENTER,

Respondent,

/

OPINION AND ORDER

Before the Court are Jose Manuel Jardon Febles’s Motion to Enforce

Judgment and Order Immediate Release (Doc. 14) and the federal

government’s response (Doc. 16).

Jardon Febles is a noncitizen in immigration detention. The Court

granted his habeas petition and ordered the government to bring him before

an immigration judge for a bond hearing. On May 29, 2026, an immigration

judge denied Jardon Febles’s request for release on bond. Jardon Febles

argues the bond hearing did not comply with the Court’s order. The Court

disagrees. The immigration judge considered evidence submitted by both sides

and the factors enumerated in Matter of Guerra, 24 I&N Dec. 34 (BIA 2006).

Jardon Febles also argues the immigration judge did not properly balance the

Guerra factors, but this is not the venue to raise that argument. The proper

way to challenge the result of a bond hearing is appeal to the Board of

Immigration Appeals. This Court does not have jurisdiction to review an

immigration judge’s discretionary bond decision:

The Attorney General’s discretionary judgment regarding the

application of this section shall not be subject to review. No court

may set aside any action or decision by the Attorney General under

this section regarding the detention of any alien or the revocation

or denial of bond or parole.

8 U.S.C. § 1226(e). Accordingly, Jardon Febles’s motion (Doc. 14) is DENIED.

DONE AND ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on June 12, 2026.
