MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 9/21/2026: 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, respondents 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 respondents that petitioner has procedurally defaulted a claim must be raised in the answer, which must also address the merits of petitioner's claims. Respondents 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 respondents' 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 respondents learn of petitioner's removal or any other change in petitioner's detention status, respondents 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).

ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/15/2026 ADOPTING 10 Findings and Recommendations and GRANTING 6 Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Petitioner Sterling Ramon Lara Agramonte (A No. 245-971-157) shall be RELEASED IMMEDIATELY from Respondent's custody with the same conditions he was subject to immediately prior to his detention in July 2026. Respondent shall not impose any additional restriction on him unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. Respondent shall RETURN all of Petitioner's documents and possessions upon his release. Within 3 days from the date of entry of this order, Respondent shall FILE a notice of compliance. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondent may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal and Petitioner receives notice of that final order of removal.
