MINUTE ORDER issued by Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim on 7/20/2026.

Therefore, respondents are ordered to file a status report as to petitioner's detention status by 5:00 p.m. on July 22, 2026, including whether petitioner was timely released given the expiration of the 90-day removal period. In addition, if petitioner remains detained, petitioner may file a reply to respondents' opposition within 7 days of this order. IT IS SO ORDERED. (Text Only Entry).
