TEXT ORDER: In response to the pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus (DN 1 ), the Court directs the Respondents to show cause, no later than 8/11/26, why the writ should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. The Respondents should describe the status of his removal and/or asylum proceedings and address the Petitioner's contention that his continued detention without an "individualized bond hearing," while "his asylum claim [is] pending," violates the Due Process Clause. See Petition at 6. Unless the parties file notice that they seek a hearing, the Court will presume that the petition presents no material factual disputes and decide it on the papers. The Clerk of Court shall forward by certified mail, return receipt requested, one copy of the petition and this order on each Respondent who has not been designated by the United States Attorney's Office, as agreed to by the Attorney's Office and the Clerk in the 1/20/26 Memorandum of Understanding, to receive electronic notice and service. This Notice of Electronic Filing is the Official ORDER for this entry. No document is attached. cc: counsel, Petitioner (Pro se), Respondent Adam Smith (via certified mail) w/ DN 1 Petition (JM) (Entered: 08/07/2026)
