MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 17, 2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's Motion for TRO by March 19, 2027. Any opposition shall indicate whether Respondents oppose converting the motion for TRO into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether Respondents request a hearing on the motion. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). In the meantime, 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, 608 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction."). The Clerk of Court shall serve this Order and all documents filed in this case, on Respondents with a copy via email to: usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 19, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and finds Petitioner has met his burden establishing a TRO is warranted under the factors articulated in Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). Petitioner has established: (1) a likelihood of success on his claims that Respondents violated the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause for prolonged detention (see, e.g., L.S. v. Warden, Otay Mesa Det. Ctr., No. 25CV3598-LL-BJW, 2026 WL 143150, at *6 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 20, 2026)); (2) Petitioner will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a TRO; (3) the balance of equities tip in Petitioner's favor; and (4) a TRO is in the public interest. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Respondents must provide Petitioner (A# 221-390-015) a bond hearing within three (3) days of this Order where Respondents bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence before a neutral decisionmaker that Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk. The decisionmaker must consider alternative conditions of release and Petitioner's financial circumstances for bond. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 991 (9th Cir. 2017). At the hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. If Petitioner is not found to be a danger to the community or flight risk, Respondents must immediately release Petitioner. Respondents may impose any restrictions or conditions determined to be necessary by the neutral decisionmaker at the hearing. By March 24, 2026, Respondents file a notice of compliance and identify the outcome of the bond hearing and Petitioner's custody status. The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 302 and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 03/19/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 24, 2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion to Appoint Counsel. (ECF No. 14 .) In light of the complexity of the legal issues involved, the Court has determined that the interests of justice require the appointment of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, Petitioner's motion is GRANTED. Within seven days of this Order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to mkrueger@caed.uscourts.gov, and counsel will be added as counsel for Petitioner. If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act Panel ("CJA"), within seven days of this Order the Federal Defender shall file a motion to appoint counsel as CJA counsel pro hac vice. The Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of this order together with a copy of Petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the Federal Defender, Attention: Habeas Appointment.
