(In Chambers) Order by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and an application for a temporary restraining order (TRO). General Order 26-05 establishes an expedited briefing schedule for immigration habeas petitions in recognition of the inherent exigency of immigration detention. GO 26-05. A petitioner seeking relief on an even more expedited basis must therefore demonstrate imminent, irreparable harm that cannot be addressed by the General Order's schedule. Id. If the government does not oppose the relief sought in the TRO application or petition, it shall promptly notify the Court. Otherwise, the government shall file a response by July 20. In its response, the government shall address whether Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal and shall attach relevant documents concerning Petitioner's detention. Petitioner shall file any reply no later than August 3 and should file it earlier if practicable to facilitate prompt resolution of the TRO application and petition.

(In Chambers) Order by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: The government was ordered to file a response no later than 9 a.m. today, July 24, if it opposed Petitioner's request for release, and the Court warned that a failure to respond would be construed as consent to granting release. Dkt. No. 10. Notwithstanding the Court's warning, the government has failed to timely respond and has not otherwise provided an opposition to the habeas petition or temporary restraining order. Accordingly, the Court orders the government to release Petitioner Benitez Zayas Saul Diosman, A 241944757, from custody immediately. The government shall file a status report confirming compliance with this order no later than 9 a.m. on July 29, 2026. A separate judgment will issue.
