MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 1/31/2026: In Respondents' 10 Motion to Dismiss Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, Respondents do not acknowledge or oppose Petitioner's 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, and do not address Selis Tinoco v. Noem, et al., 1:25-cv-01762-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 3567862 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025), or D.L.C. v. Wofford, et al., 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026), the cases cited in this court's 4 Order setting the briefing schedule on Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Accordingly, upon review of Petitioner's 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, and pursuant to the court's reasoning in Selis Tinoco and D.L.C., Petitioner's 2 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED, and the court ORDERS the following: (1) Petitioner shall be released immediately from the Respondents' custody with the same conditions he was subject to immediately prior to his re-detention; (2) Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing; and (3) If the Government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than seven (7) days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. Further, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by no later than 2/3/2026, as to why this court should not issue a Preliminary Injunction on the same terms as this Order. Petitioner may file a response thereto by no later than 2/5/2026. Respondents may file a reply to Petitioner's response by no later than 2/6/2026. If the parties agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties proposal. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 01/31/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 2/9/2026: On 1/27/2026, Petitioner filed a 2 motion for a temporary restraining order, asserting that he was unlawfully detained by immigration authorities because he had been unconstitutionally "denied [a] bond hearing based on lack of jurisdiction on December 30, 2025." (Doc. No. 2-1 at 15.) On 1/31/2026, after Respondents filed an opposition to that motion, the court issued an order 12 granting Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order, releasing Petitioner, and requiring that if the Government seeks to re-detain him, the Government must provide Petitioner a pre-deprivation bond hearing where a neutral arbiter considers Petitioner's eligibility for bond. The court ordered Respondents to show cause as to why the court should not enter a preliminary injunction on the same terms as the temporary restraining order. (Id.) On 2/3/2026, Respondents filed a 13 response, arguing, for the first time, that Petitioner had been provided a constitutionally compliant bond hearing on 12/30/2025 because the immigration judge denied Petitioner's request for bond for jurisdictional reasons but also elaborated that, "[a]ssuming arguendo [Petitioner] were eligible for bond, he poses a danger as he was convicted of DUI in 2020, and again in 2022." (Doc. No. 13 at 25.) On 2/5/2026, Petitioner filed a 14 reply to that response, in which he argues that "the record does not support a finding that Petitioner presently poses a danger to the community" because his "DUI convictions were in the past and were non-violent offenses" and that "[s]ince that time, Petitioner has had no additional criminal arrests, no allegations of violence, and no evidence of ongoing risk." (Doc. No. 14 at 4.) Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order, however, was granted based upon Petitioner's representation that Petitioner's eligibility for bond had not been considered, not that the immigration judge's consideration was insufficient. Accordingly, the court will not issue a preliminary injunction on the same terms as the 12 temporary restraining order. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned magistrate for further proceedings.
