See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").

ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 10/5/2026 GRANTING the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 1 . Respondents must IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner Jorge Arturo M.R. (A#208-320-160) from custody. At the time of release, Respondents must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions and provide a copy of this Order. Respondents must file a notice certifying compliance with this provision within two (2) court days from the date of this Order. Respondents are ENJOINED from re-detaining Petitioner, while subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), absent compliance with statutory and constitutional protections, including a minimum of seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where the government must establish by clear and convincing evidence that its interest in protecting the public or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention such that no alternative to detention can mitigate that risk. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. Petitioner's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis 2 is GRANTED. Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order 3 and Motion to Appoint Counsel 4 are DENIED as moot. The Clerk of Court is directed to serve California City Detention Facility with a copy of this Order. CASE CLOSED.
