MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 09/28/2026. Petitioner, Erick Benito Espinoza Loasiga (A# 241-318-190), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The petition asserts, among other things, that petitioner's detention without a bond hearing violates the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). ECF No. 1. With respect to the INA claim, the Ninth Circuit recently held that "[noncitizens] present without admission who are apprehended in the interior of the United States are subject to detention regime of § 1226, not § 1225(b)(2)(A)." Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, No 25-6842, 183 F.4th 1160, 2026 WL 2196424, at *3, 7 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). This court has also reached the same conclusion. See e.g. Morales-Flores, v. Lyons, No. 1:25-cv-1640-TLN-EFB, 2025 WL 3552841 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 11, 2025); Brayan C.C. v. Warden of California City Corr. Ctr., No. 2:26-cv-0641-TLN-JDP, 2026 WL 710358 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2026); Morillo v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01533-DJC-AC, 2025 WL 3190899 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 15, 2025); Alvarez Maciel v. Noem, No. 1:26-cv-01318-DC-CKD, 2026 WL 496948 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 23, 2026). Additionally, this court has addressed petitioner's due process claim. See Ramirez Godinez v. Warden of California City Det. Facility, No. 1:26-cv-5584 DC AC, 2026 WL 2455251 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 21, 2026), findings and recommendations adopted, 2026 WL 2494928 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 25, 2026); Garcia Flores v. Warden, Mesa Verde Detention Facility, No. 1:26-cv-5387 DC AC, 2026 WL 2494915 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 25, 2026), report and recommendations adopted, 2026 WL 2594117 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 2, 2026); Brayan C.C., 2026 WL 710358; Rogelio A.J. v. Mullin, No. 1:26-cv-2695 TLN DMC, 2026 WL 1257240 (E.D. Cal. May 7, 2026). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, respondent is directed to file a response within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from Rodriguez Vazquez, Morales-Flores, Brayan C.C., Morillo, Alvarez Maciel, Ramirez Godinez, Garcia Flores, Rogelio A.J., and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, and if respondent disputes any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondent's response.(Text Only Entry). (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 09/28/2026)
