PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Petitioner's Response to Order to Show Cause. ECF No. 20 . Therein, Petitioner asserts that his continued detention has exceeded the presumptively reasonable "temporal boundary" under Sopo v. U.S. Att'y Gen., 890 F.3d 952 (11th Cir. 2018), such that he is entitled to "conditional release as a matter of due process." ECF No. 20 at 6. Neither party has briefed the applicability of Sopo to this action. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Petitioner to file a Supplemental Memorandum by July 27, 2026 addressing whether Petitioner is entitled to relief based upon Sopo. Respondents shall file their Response Supplemental Memorandum by July 30, 2026. Signed by Judge Jacqueline Becerra (nsy) (Entered: 07/21/2026)
