MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/20/2026.Before the Court is Mr. Jonathan Jair Hernandez-Retana's First Amended 28 U.S.C. § 2241 Petition (ECF No. 15 ). The Court has reviewed the Petition, as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 8 ), and preliminarily finds that Mr. Hernandez-Retana may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and/or Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, --- F. Supp. 3d. ---, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026).Therefore, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE for Petitioner's detention. See 28 U.S.C.§ 2243. Specifically, Respondents must file a "return certifying the true cause of detention" on or before July 22, 2026. In doing so, Respondents should not re-argue their faulty interpretation of 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), as this issue has already been litigated in, and decided by, this Court. See generally Jacobo Ramirez, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026). With that being said, Respondents may reference their prior briefing on this issue for appellate purposes. Finally, if Respondents intend to rely on a separate source of detention authority, they must identify it in their return.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Petitioner has up to, and including, July 27, 2026, to reply.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - DLQ) (Entered: 07/20/2026)

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/31/2026. This Court ordered Respondents file a "return certifying the true cause of detention" on or before July 22, 2026. See ECF No. 17. Prior to that, the Court ordered the following: "If Respondents contend that Petitioner is not a class member, then [Respondents] must identify the statutory authority which authorizes Petitioner's detention." ECF No. 5 at 4. In their subsequent filings, Respondents have asserted Petitioner is not a Class Member and made mention of both 8 U.S.C. §§ 1225 and 1226, without clearly indicating which specific statutory provision they allege authorizes Petitioner's detention and why. See generally ECF Nos. 8, 18. Thus, the Court once more ORDERS Respondents to, on or before August 3, 2026, file a "return certifying the true cause of detention," i.e., a filing asserting Respondents' position on which of the INA's statutory detention provisions applies and authorizes Petitioner's detention, if any. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - CMB) (Entered: 07/31/2026)
