(In Chambers) Order Granting Petition (ECF 1) by Magistrate Judge Brianna Fuller Mircheff. The Petition is GRANTED as to Petitioner's due process claim (Pet. at 12-13). Petitioner Fengrui Cao (A# 235-646-008) is ordered immediately released on reasonable conditions not to include a monetary bond. Any property confiscated during her arrest shall be returned to her. Petitioner's remaining claims (Pet. at 17-18) are denied as moot in light of the relief granted on her due process claim. The Court declines to enter the future injunctive relief sought, as the Court does not believe that such relief appropriately flows from the error found here. Petitioner's counsel shall file a status report confirming Petitioner's release within three days of her release from custody; if release is delayed for any reason, counsel shall promptly notify the Court. Upon receipt of confirmation that Petitioner has been released, judgment will issue and the Court will close the case. SEE ORDER FOR DETAILS. 1 (ch) (Entered: 09/22/2026)
