MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/23/2026: Pending the issuance of the court's order resolving the pending 3 motion for temporary restraining order, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondent shall not take any action to remove petitioner from the United States or to move petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (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). Given the exigent circumstances present, the court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending its forthcoming order resolving petitioner's pending 3 motion for temporary restraining order. In light of petitioner's pro se status, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to serve respondent with a copy of the petition, motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with this order, to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California by email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Counsel for respondent shall promptly enter Notices of Appearance. Respondent shall file a written opposition to the pending 3 motion for temporary restraining order by 5:00 PM Monday, 4/27/2026. In that opposition, respondent shall substantively address whether any provision of law or fact in this case would distinguish it from this court's decision in Ayala Cajina v. Wofford, No. 1:25-cv-01566-DAD-AC (HC), 2025 WL 3251083 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 21, 2025), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Furthermore, respondent is DIRECTED to indicate in its opposition whether it opposes converting the motion for temporary restraining order into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether it opposes the court resolving the merits of the underlying habeas petition. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties' proposal. (cc: Golden State) (Deputy Clerk MCF) (Entered: 04/23/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/29/2026: On 4/21/2026, petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. No. 1 ) and a motion for temporary restraining order (Doc. No. 3 ). Petitioner argues that his detention absent a bond hearing violates due process. (Doc. No. 1 at 6.) On 4/26/2026, respondents filed an opposition to petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order, in which they argue that petitioner is subject to mandatory detention pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)(1) because he has been convicted of multiple crimes of moral turpitude since he was granted asylum in 2016. (Doc. No. 10 at 4.) Respondents also argue that petitioner's motion should be denied because he has not exhausted his administrative remedies. (Id. at 4-5.) The court finds analogous and persuasive, and incorporates herein, its prior analysis in Buckley, v. Chestnut, et al., No. 1:26-cv-02624-DAD-JDP, 2026 WL 1030931, at * 2-4 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 16, 2026), where the court declined to waive the prudential exhaustion requirements because petitioner's appeal of his Matter of Jospeh hearing was pending. Because petitioner has not exhausted his administrative remedies by requesting a Matter of Joseph hearing, petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order (Doc. No. 3 ) is DENIED. The petition for habeas corpus (Doc. No. 1 ) is REFERRED to Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim for further proceedings. (Deputy Clerk MCF) (Entered: 04/29/2026)
