ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/21/2026 DECLINING TO ADOPT the 8 findings and recommendations filed 6/8/2026 and GRANTING Petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. Respondents are ORDERED to IMMEDIATLEY RELEASE Petitioner Esteban Alvarez Mora (A-240-170-125) from Respondents' custody with the same conditions he was subject to immediately prior to his current immigration detention. 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. Respondents shall RETURN all of Petitioner's documents and possessions (e.g., identification, passport, work permit, Social Security card, etc.) upon his release from custody. Within 3 days from the date of entry of this order, Respondents shall FILE a notice of compliance with this court confirming that Petitioner has been released in accordance with the above. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 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. This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondents may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal and Petitioner receives notice of that final order of removal. Respondents' 7 motion to dismiss is DENIED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the California City Detention Facility, enter judgment for Petitioner, and close this case. CASE CLOSED.
