MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 8/5/2026.Before the Court is Mr. Abrego Hernandez's First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (the Petition) (ECF No. 10 ) and Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis (the IFP Application) (ECF No. 9 ).As a preliminary matter, upon reviewing Petitioner's financial circumstances, see generally ECF No. 9 ), the Court finds good cause to grant the IFP Application. Thus, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's IFP Application (ECF No. 9 ) is GRANTED.The Court has reviewed the Petition, as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 8 ), and preliminarily finds that Mr. Abrego Hernandez may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, No. 2:25-cv-02136-RFB-BNW, 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 cause of detention" on or before August 7, 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, and decided, by this Court and the Ninth Circuit.See generallyJacobo Ramirez, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026); Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, --- F.4th ---, 2026 WL 2196424 (9th Cir. July 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 Petitioner has up to, and including, August 12, 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. 4 .(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JT) (Entered: 08/05/2026)
