MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 06/23/2026. Petitioner, Rony Antonio Ortega Nunez (A# 241-013-650), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1 ) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2 ) is GRANTED and petitioner is authorized to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the filing fee in this action. The petition, liberally construed, asserts three violations of petitioner's due process rights: one based on his prolonged detention, one based on his detention without a bond hearing generally, and another based on the revocation of his release. Respondents are directed to file a response within 14 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders in Lida G.B. v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-2061 TLN CKD, 2026 WL 19104 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 3. 2026), Z.Z. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-2309 TLN JDP, 2026 WL 890476 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 1, 2026), Wistong F. v. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, No. 1:26-cv-3399 TLN DMC, 2026 WL 1361794 (E.D. Cal. May 15, 2026), Brayan C.C. v. Warden of California City Corr. Ctr., No. 2:26-cv-0641 TLN JDP, 2026 WL 710358 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, 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 of being served a copy of the respondents' 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").
