FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim on 06/18/2026 RECOMMENDING that the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be granted on Petitioner's first two claims and that Respondents be ordered to immediately release Petitioner Armando Chan May, A# 213-045-700, and be ordered to provide Petitioner with a copy of the release order at or near the time of release. If respondents have custody of Petitioner's documents (e.g., identification, passport, work permit, Social Security card, etc.), Respondents shall return those to Petitioner at the time of release. It is RECOMMENDED that Respondents be enjoined and restrained from re-detaining Petitioner unless the government demonstrates, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral decisionmaker, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to community that his physical custody is legally justified. This injunction does not address other circumstances where detention authority is established under different authority than what is presented in this case. It is further RECOMMENDED that the Clerk be directed to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner and close this case. Referred to Judge Dale A. Drozd. Objections due within 7 days after being served with these findings and recommendations. (Deputy Clerk KS) (Entered: 06/18/2026)
