MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/9/2026. Before the Court is Petitioner Mario Caceres Hernandez's First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 11 ). The Court has reviewed the Petition and preliminarily finds that Mr. Caceres Hernandez may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, No. 2:25-cv-02136-RFB-MDC, 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 case of detention" on or before July 13, 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 before this Court. See generally Jacobo-Ramirez, 2026 WL 879799. 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 to justify Petitioner's detention, they must identify it in their return.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Petitioner has up to, and including, July 16, 2026, to reply.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Court's prior orders regarding briefing, document production, transfer, etc. remain in full effect. See generally Order, ECF No. 3 . (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - CMB) (Entered: 07/09/2026)
