MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker on 07/31/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus. (Doc. 1). The pleadings appear to raise factual and legal issues that this Court has resolved in other cases by finding that a noncitizen who enters the United States with a visa and is later detained by immigration authorities may seek a custody redetermination hearing by an immigration judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). See, e.g., Perez Moreno v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-00886-JLT-CDB (HC), 2026 WL 947027 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 8, 2026), F&R adopted by 2026 WL 1035210 (Apr. 16, 2026). Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, the Court directs Respondents to SHOW CAUSE in writing no later than 8/7/2026 as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from the Court's prior order in the case listed above and would justify denial of the writ. Respondents' response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents, including notices to appear, orders relating to Petitioner's release from custody, and documents related to any asserted violations of release conditions or any asserted change of circumstances warranting Petitioner's re-detention. Petitioner may file a reply no later than 8/14/2026. (Deputy Clerk CRB) (Entered: 07/31/2026)
