Javier Talango and the government respondents in the case.
What happened
In Talango v. Shanahan, Javier Talango had asked the court for relief concerning his immigration detention. In 2015, the court granted his petition and ordered the government to provide a bond hearing.
The government appealed. The Second Circuit later sent the case back for further consideration in light of two Supreme Court decisions. Before that, however, Talango received a bond hearing before an immigration judge and was denied bond.
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case and directed the Clerk to keep it closed. The opinion does not state an additional reason for the dismissal.

The Second Circuit later issued a mandate vacating and remanding the case for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decisions in Nielsen v. Preap and Jennings v. Rodriguez. The opinion also states that Talango received a bond hearing before an immigration judge on June 3, 2015, and was denied bond.
