MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 9/11/2026: Petitioner, an immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the court must examine the habeas corpus petition and order a response to the petition unless it "plainly appears" that the petitioner is not entitled to relief. It does not plainly appear that petitioner is not entitled to relief. Therefore, the court orders the government to respond to the petition and sets a briefing schedule. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Within seven days of this order's service, respondent must file an answer to the petition. The answer must address the merits of the petition and set forth the "true cause of the detention." See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Any argument by respondent that petitioner has procedurally defaulted a claim must be raised in the answer, which must also address the merits of petitioner's claims. Respondent shall attach any documents necessary for resolving the issues presented in the petition. Arguments that are not supported with relevant evidence will not be considered. 2. Petitioner may file a traverse to respondent's answer within seven days of the date of service of that answer. If no traverse is filed within seven days, the petition and answer are deemed submitted. 3. If respondent learns of petitioner's removal or any other change in petitioner's detention status, respondent shall submit a status report notifying the court as soon as practicably possible. 4. The Clerk of Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma pauperis form used by this district. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee of $5.00. (Text Only Entry).

MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/5/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 7 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Noncitizens admitted to the United States pursuant to a visa are subject to discretionary detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) if they "overstay or violate the terms of their visa[]" or lawful nonimmigrant status. See Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, 183 F.4th 1160, 1167 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). Further, this court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by the Petition. See e.g., Oliveira Tinoco v. Albarran, No. 1:26-cv-05505-DC-CKD, 2026 WL 2942919 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 1, 2026); Kaur v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-05349-DC-CSK, 2026 WL 2790742, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 17, 2026); Zhou v. Warden, Cal. City Immigr. Processing Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-05774-DC-CSK, 2026 WL 2825584, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 21, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 7 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 10/7/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from Oliveira Tinoco, Kaur, and Zhou. Petitioner may file a Reply by 10/21/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 10/05/2026)
