MINUTE ORDER Requiring Supplemental Response. In its September 15, 2026 2 Minute Order Requiring Response to Petition, the Court ordered Respondents to to show cause "why Petitioner should not be released from custody on the grounds that his warrantless arrest violated his due process rights under the Fifth Amendment." The Court cited to its prior decision in Lopez Lopez v. LaRose, No. 26-cv-4399 TWR (SBC) (S.D. Cal. entered Sept. 10, 2026), ECF No. 10, in which the Court, relying on the Honorable Leslie E. Kobayashi's decision in Diaz Escalante v. LaRose, No. 3:26-CV-04259 LEK-AHG, 2026 WL 2364792 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 14, 2026), "'conclude[d] that Petitioner's detention without a valid warrant or lawful process violate[d] his due process rights under the Fifth Amendment' and that '[o]nly release from detention c[ould]' remedy that Fifth Amendment violation." In Diaz Escalante, Judge Kobayashi explained that the subsequent issuance of a warrant under 8 C.F.R. § 287.3 was "unavailing" because "[Section 287.3] itself presumes a noncitizen's arrest is made consistent with [8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2)]." See 2026 WL 2364792, at *4 (citing 8 C.F.R. § 287.3(a)). The Court therefore ORDERS Respondents to file a supplemental brief on or before September 23, 2026, indicating whether the administrative warrant issued on June 6, 2026, (see ECF No. 4-2), was issued before Petitioners arrest and, if so, whether the arresting agent had sufficient particularized facts to believe that Petitioner was likely to escape before a warrant could be obtained. See Escobar Molina v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 811 F. Supp. 3d 1, 30 (D.D.C. 2025). (All non-registered users served via U.S. Mail Service) (no document attached) (sxd) (Entered: 09/18/2026)

MINUTE ORDER Granting Petition. Having reviewed the record, "the Court 'concludes that Petitioner's detention without a valid warrant or lawful process violate[d] his due process rights under the Fifth Amendment' and that '[o]nly release from detention can' remedy that Fifth Amendment violation.'" See Minute Order Granting Petition, Lopez Lopez v. LaRose, No. 26-cv-4399 TWR (SBC) (S.D. Cal. entered Sept. 10, 2026), ECF No. 10 (alterations in original) (quoting Diaz Escalante v. LaRose, No. 3:26-CV-04259 LEK-AHG, 2026 WL 2364792, at *4 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 14, 2026)). The Court therefore GRANTS the 1 Petition, ORDERS Respondents to release Petitioner as soon as practicable, and ENJOINS Respondents from rearresting or re-detaining Petitioner in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2). Because Petitioner is pro se, Respondents SHALL SERVE Petitioner with a copy of this Order. (All non-registered users served via U.S. Mail Service) (no document attached) (sxd) (Entered: 09/22/2026)
