MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on January 26, 2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 12:00 pm. Any opposition shall provide the Court with copies of all referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and any and all available records related to Petitioner's allegations.

TODAY, Petitioner's counsel shall serve a copy of this minute order and all documents filed in this case to date on the U.S. Attorney's Office via email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Pending the Court's ruling on Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ), Respondents shall not take any action to transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (acknowledging the Court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").

ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 9/22/2026 ADOPTING 14 Findings and Recommendations; GRANTING the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus; and Respondents are ENJOINED from re-detaining Petitioner, while subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), absent compliance with statutory and constitutional protections, including a minimum of 7-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where the government must establish by clear and convincing evidence that its interest in protecting the public or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention such that no alternative to detention can mitigate that risk. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 690 (2001); Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 990 (9th Cir. 2017). At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. CASE CLOSED.
