MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 9/28/2026: 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.

FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 10/13/2026 RECOMMENDING the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be granted and ordering respondents to immediately release petitioner Radiana Dzhavgova 246-934-779 from custody and not impose any additional restrictions on petitioner, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation hearing. If the government seeks to re-detain petitioner, it must provide no less than seven days' notice to petitioner and must hold a constitutionally compliant pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter at which the government bears the burden of proving flight risk or danger by clear and convincing evidence and directing the court to enter judgment and close this case. Referred to Judge Dena Coggins. Objections to Findings and Recommendations due within 3 days. (Deputy Clerk AMW) (Entered: 10/13/2026)
