MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 09/30/2026. Petitioner, Vikas Vikas (A# 245-702-437), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis 2 is GRANTED and petitioner is authorized to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the filing fee in this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914. The petition asserts, among other things, that petitioner's re-detention without pre-deprivation procedures violates petitioner's procedural due process rights. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, respondent is directed to file a response within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders in Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 818 F. Supp. 3d 1113 (E.D. Cal. 2025), Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 818 F. Supp. 3d 1141 (E.D. Cal. 2025), Pineda v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-1970 DC JDP (HC), 2026 WL 25510 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026), D.L.C. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-cv-1996 DC JDP (HC), 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026), Orellana Gonzalez v. Cerna, No. 1:26-cv-1344 DC JDP (HC), 2026 WL 604193 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 4, 2026), Singh v. Noem, No. 1:26-cv-1150 DC JDP (HC), 2026 WL 585512 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 2, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, and if respondent disputes any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondent's response. Respondent shall NOT TRANSFER petitioner outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (establishing the All Writs Act which empowers the federal courts to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions...."); see also F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (emphasizing that federal courts have the power to "to preserve the court's jurisdiction or maintain the status quo by injunction pending review of an agency's action"). This order does not prohibit the temporary transfer of petitioner outside of the district for urgent medical care, though petitioner shall be returned to the district upon the conclusion of such care. As soon as practicable, respondent shall notify the court of any such transfer. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 09/30/2026)
