MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 9/10/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court has reviewed the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for temporary restraining order. Respondents shall file a response to the 2 motion for temporary restraining order by September 16, 2026.

Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v.

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 9/17/2026: (Text Only Entry) The 2 motion for temporary restraining order is denied. Respondents have submitted evidence that petitioner is subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) due to his 2023 conviction for possession of cocaine. See Docs. 6 at 1, 6-3, 6-4. Petitioner was detained at the border pursuant to § 1226(c) on June 25, 2026, when he returned from traveling abroad. See id.; Doc. 2 at 3; Doc. 6-1 at 2-3. Given that petitioner was detained at the border while re-entering the country, petitioner has not shown that he is likely to succeed on his due process claim. This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings, including the preparation of findings and recommendations on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus.
