MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker on 01/28/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus and attachments. (Doc. 1 ). The pleadings appear to raise factual and legal issues that this Court has resolved in other cases by finding that a petitioner previously detained and released by immigration authorities under similar circumstances may not be re-arrested and detained without a bond hearing. See, e.g., Singh v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01788-CDB, 2025 WL 3751819 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 29, 2025) (granting preliminary injunction), 2026 WL 74011 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 9, 2026) (granting writ). Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, no later than 2/11/2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from the Court's prior orders in the case listed above and would justify denial of the writ. Respondents' response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents, including notices to appear, orders setting release conditions, and documents related to any asserted violations of release conditions or any asserted change of circumstances warranting Petitioner's re-detention. Petitioner may file a reply no later than 2/25/2026. (Deputy Clerk CRB) (Entered: 01/28/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 6/22/2026: (Text Only Entry). In petitioner's 14 filing, he asserts that he was not provided 48 hours' notice prior to his bond hearing, as required by the Court's 12 order. The Court construes petitioner's 14 filing as a motion to enforce the judgment. Respondents shall file a response to petitioner's 14 motion by June 29, 2026. Petitioner may file a reply by July 6, 2026. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 06/22/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 7/06/2026: (Text Only Entry): On April 9, 2026, the Court granted the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, ordered that respondents provide petitioner with a bond hearing within fourteen (14) days, and "ordered that respondents provide [petitioner] with 48 hours' written notice before the bond hearing." Doc. 12 at 4. It appears that petitioner was provided a bond hearing on April 17, 2026, where the immigration judge denied bond. See Doc. 14 at 1. However, petitioner filed a 14 motion to enforce the judgment, arguing that he was not provided 48 hours' written notice prior to that bond hearing, as required by the Court's order. The Court ordered respondents to file a response by June 29, 2026, and they did not file a response. See Doc. 16 and docket. The Court construes respondents' lack of a response as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c) ("A failure to file a timely opposition may also be construed by the Court as a nonopposition to the motion."). Petitioner's 14 motion to enforce the judgment is GRANTED, and respondents are ordered to provide petitioner with a new bond hearing within seven (7) days. If respondents do not provide him with a new bond hearing within seven days, then respondents must release him. Respondents are further ordered to hand-deliver written notice of the new bond hearing 48 hours prior to the hearing. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 07/06/2026)
