The opinion
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.
