MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner Manpreet Singh's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and Petitioner - Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 2. In the Petition and Motion, Petitioner requests that the Court order his immediate release from immigration detention. See ECF No. 1 at 3; ECF No. 2 at 2. Having reviewed the Petition and Motion, the Court ORDERS Petitioner to, no later than two calendar days from the entry of this Order, (1) serve Respondents with copies of the Petition, the Motion, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail and by overnight mail pursuant to the service requirements outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(i); and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. Within five (5) calendar days of service, Respondents are ORDERED TO RESPOND to the Petition and are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v. Collins, No. 1:25-cv-00786-ADA-SH, 2025 WL 1954064, at *1 (W.D. Tex. July 7, 2025) (explaining that while § 2243 refers to a three day deadline, this requirement is "subordinate to the district court's authority to set deadlines" itself, and granting respondents a fourteen day deadline to respond in order to "give [r]espondents adequate time to brief the issues" (quotations omitted)). Further, pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order. See also Vizguerra-Ramirez v. Choate, et. al, Case No. 1:25-cv-881, D. Colo., ECF No. 11 at 45 (collecting cases); F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603 (1966); Local 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n v. New York Shipping Ass'n, 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992). By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 7/7/2026.

ORDER: Before the Court are Petitioners application for a writ of habeas corpus, ECF No. 1, Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order, ECF No. 2, and Respondents' response thereto, ECF No. 9. In the response, Respondents states they are "not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition." ECF No. 9 at 1. In light of this representation, as well as the Tenth Circuit's recent decision holding that § 1225's mandatory detention provision does not apply to noncitizens who are apprehended while in the interior of the United States, see generally Santillan Quiroz v. Mullin, et. al, No. 26-6019, --- F.4th ---, 2026 WL 1876709 819, *17 (10th Cir. June 30, 2026), the Court GRANTS Petitioner's habeas application, ECF No. 1. It is ORDERED that Respondents shall release Petitioner from custody immediately, but no later than within 24 hours of this Order, and may not impose any additional conditions of release or supervision beyond those he was subject to immediately prior to his recent detention. Respondents SHALL FILE a status report within TWO DAYS of this Order to certify compliance. Respondents are further ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-detaining Petitioner unless Respondents demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his physical custody is legally justified. At any such bond hearing, the government shall bear the burden of proof. The Court notes that, while Respondents contend that a bond hearing is the appropriate remedy, see ECF No. 9 at 2, this argument fail to persuade. Compare ECF No. 9 at 2, with Santillan Quiroz, 2026 WL 1876709 819, *17 n.13; see also, e.g., Singh v. Baltazar, 819 F. Supp. 3d 1247, 125051 (D. Colo. 2026). Because Petitioner is granted the relief he seek, the motion for a temporary restraining order, ECF No. 2, is DENIED AS MOOT. By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 7/27/2026.
