MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/1/2026.Before the Court are Petitioner's motions to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 6 ) and to extend time (ECF No. 7 ). For the following reasons, the Court grants both motions.First, the Court has reviewed Petitioner's financial information, see generally Mot. for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis, ECF No. 6, and finds that he should not be required to pay the filing fee for this matter. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Petitioner's Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (ECF No. 6 ) is GRANTED.Second, the Court finds good cause to afford Petitioner more time to file his amended petition, as Petitioner's Counsel needs additional time to develop his claims and Respondents do not oppose this request. See Mot. to Extend 1-2, ECF No. 7 (June 30, 2026). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Petitioner's Motion to Extend Time (ECF No. 7 ) is GRANTED. Petitioner now has up to, and including, July 14, 2026, to file his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - DLQ) (Entered: 07/01/2026)

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/15/2026.Before the Court is Mr. Eduardo Javier Gonzalez Silva's First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 11 ). The Court has reviewed the Petition, as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 10 ), and preliminarily finds that Mr. Gonzalez Silva may be entitled to habeas relief under: (i.) Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, --- F. Supp. 3d ---, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026); (ii.) the Immigration and Nationality Act; and (iii.) the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.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 20, 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 Respondents must file a supplement which answers the following interrogatories under oath, see Rule 7, Rules Governing § 2254 Proceedings in the United States District Courts: (1.) Was Petitioner arrested pursuant to a lawfully executed, and served, administrative warrant pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(b)? (2.) Was an initial custody determination conducted as to Petitioner pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8)? (3.) Was a Form I-286 Notice of Custody Determination served on Petitioner pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(g)? Respondents must file this supplement alongside their return, i.e. by July 20, 2026.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Petitioner has up to, and including, July 23, 2026, to reply.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - DLQ) (Entered: 07/15/2026)
