ORDER and FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim on 10/20/2026 DIRECTING the Clerk to amend court records to reflect Petitioner's name as Wilberth Antonio Montano Matamoros. It is RECOMMENDED that: The 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be granted; Respondent be ordered to immediately release Petitioner Wilberth Antonio Montano Matamoros (A# 244-738-470), also known as Montano Matamoros Wilberth Antonio, and be ordered to provide Petitioner with a copy of the release order at or near the time of release. If Respondent has custody of Petitioner's personal possessions and documents (e.g., identification, passport, work permit, Social Security card, etc.) Respondent shall return those to Petitioner at the time of release; Respondent be enjoined and restrained from re-detaining Petitioner unless the government demonstrates, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation constitutionally adequate bond hearing before a neutral decisonmaker, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community such that physical custody is legally justified. This injunction does not address other circumstances where detention authority is established under different authority than what is presented in this case (e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) or 8 U.S.C. § 1231); Given Petitioner's pro se status, Respondent be directed to file, within 7 days of the adoption of these findings and recommendations, a status report addressing Petitioner's status; and that the Clerk be directed to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner and close this case. Referred to Judge Dena M. Coggins. Objections due within 7 days after being served with these findings and recommendations. (Deputy Clerk KS) (Entered: 10/20/2026)
