IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that Respondents be directed to IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner Christian Daniel Rodriguez Gonzalez (A# 240-354-565) from custody. Respondent may place Petitioner on standard conditions of supervision.

At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have his counsel present. Any order adopting these Findings and Recommendations include language that they do not address the circumstances in which Respondents may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal and Petitioner receives notice of that final order of removal. Respondent be further directed to file a notice certifying compliance with the above provisions within seven (7) days from the date of any order adopting these findings and recommendations. The Clerk of the Court be directed to: a. Serve a copy of a final order in this matter on the Central Valley Annex; and b. Enter judgment in Petitioner's favor and close this case.

RELEASE ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 8/24/2026 ADOPTING 8 The Findings and Recommendations in full; Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus 1 is GRANTED. Respondents must IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner Christian Daniel R.G. (A# 240-354-565) from custody. At the time of release, Respondents must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions.

Respondents are ENJOINED from re-detaining Petitioner, while subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), absent compliance with statutory and constitutional protections, including a minimum of seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where Respondents show by clear and convincing evidence that the government's interest in protecting the public or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention such that no alternative to detention can mitigate that risk. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of a final order in this matter on the Central Valley Annex and enter judgment in Petitioner's favor and close this case.
