MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 3/10/2026: The Court has reviewed the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for temporary restraining order. Petitioner appears to challenge his re-detention and raise legal issues that this Court has previously addressed. See e.g., Yon Kervis U. v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-CV-2066-KES-SAB (HC), 2026 WL 88983 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 12, 2026); Elmer Joel M. C. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01622-KES-CDB (HC), 2025 WL 3501200 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 6, 2025); Clene C.D. v. Robbins, No. 1:25-CV-01463-KES-SKO (HC), 2026 WL 84302 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 12, 2026); W.V.S.M. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01489-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3236521 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 19, 2025); Bilal A. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01715-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3648366 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 16, 2025); Marina V.N. v. Robbins, No. 1:25-CV-01845-KES-SKO (HC), 2025 WL 3701960 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 21, 2025). The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 2 motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). On or before March 12, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that distinguish it from the Court's prior orders in Yon Kervis U. v. Chestnut, Elmer Joel M. C. v. Wofford, Clene C.D. v. Robbins, W.V.S.M. v. Wofford, Bilal A. v. Wofford, and Marina V.N. v. Robbins and justify denying the petition, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 3/18/2026: (Text Only Entry). The 2 motion for temporary restraining order is denied. Respondents' records show that in 2026 immigration authorities charged petitioner as inadmissible pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(6)(A)(i) and 1182(a)(7)(A)(i)(I), after petitioner was arrested in 2025 on state charges for theft, fencing, and receiving stolen property. Doc. 7, Exs. 1, 2. Petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order seeks his release. He relies on cases in which courts considered whether 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) or 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) applied to noncitizens present in the United States without admission. E.g., Maldonado Bautista v. Noem, No. 5:25-CV-01873-SSS-BFM, 2025 WL 3678485 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 2025). But petitioner's detention appears to be under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)(1)(E), which authorizes detention for "any alien" who "is inadmissible under" 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(6)(A)(i) or 1182(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) and "is charged with, is arrested for, [or] is convicted of,... any... theft... offense[.]" 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)(1)(E). It appears that petitioner was arrested for "theft" within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)(1)(E) and that his detention is governed by that provision. Petitioner fails to establish a likelihood of success on his statutory and due process claims as his motion does not address the correct statute governing his detention. This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings on the petition. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 03/18/2026)
