MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/13/2026.Before the Court is Mr. Jordan Thomas Shire's First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 8 ). The Court has reviewed the Petition, as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 6 ), and preliminarily finds that Mr. Shire may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act, its implementing regulations, and 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 16, 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 16, 2026.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Petitioner has up to, and including, July 21, 2026, to reply.Finally, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Court's prior orders regarding briefing, document production, transfer, etc. remain in full effect. See generally Order Appointing Counsel, ECF No. 3 .(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - DLQ) (Entered: 07/13/2026)
