MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on July 29, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex-Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and finds Petitioner has met his burden establishing a TRO is warranted under the factors articulated in Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). Petitioner has established: (1) a likelihood of success on his claim that his detention violates the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause; (2) Petitioner will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a TRO; (3) the balance of equities tip in Petitioner's favor; and (4) a TRO is in the public interest. The Court has repeatedly ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Morales-Flores v. Lyons, No. 1:25-CV-01640-TLN-EFB, 2025 WL 3552841, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 11, 2025). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. (ECF No. 2 .) To return Petitioner to the status quo ante litem, Respondents are ORDERED to IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner (A# 249-405-405) under the same conditions he was released prior to his current detention. At the time of release, Respondents must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. Respondents are ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with constitutional protections, including seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing. Respondents shall file a notice of compliance with this Order within two court days. Respondents are further ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not grant the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and enter judgment in favor of Petitioner. Respondents shall file responsive papers within two court days. Petitioner may file a reply within three courts days thereafter. Respondents may apply to the Court for modification or dissolution of the TRO on two days' notice to Petitioner. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(4). The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve Golden State Annex Detention Facility with a copy of this Order. SO ORDERED.
