MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 06/17/2026. Petitioner, a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis 2 is GRANTED. Petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel 3 is DENIED without prejudice. The petition, liberally construed, asserts two violations of petitioner's due process rights: one based on prolonged detention and another based on the revocation of his release. Respondents are directed to respond to the petition within 14 days from the date of this order. Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish this case from Mohammad S. v. Andrews, No. 1:26-cv-0590 TLN CSK, 2026 WL 480095 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 20, 2026), Lida G.B. v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-2061 TLN CKD, 2026 WL 19104 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 3. 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court. Any response must include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and, if respondents dispute any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days after being served a copy of respondent's response. Respondents shall NOT TRANSFER petitioner outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (establishing the All Writs Act which empowers the federal courts to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions...."); see also F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (emphasizing that federal courts have the power to "to preserve the court's jurisdiction or maintain the status quo by injunction pending review of an agency's action").(Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 06/17/2026)
