MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 10/2/2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("the Petition") and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Court intends to rule directly on the Petition, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made in support of the motion. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2). Within 2 court days, Respondents shall answer the Petition. Any response must include Petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter; any orders of release, detention, or bond; any custody determinations, warrants, or notices; and any other portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the Petition. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). Parties are reminded of their obligations under Local Rule 140 to redact personally identifiable information. Pending the Court's ruling on the Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. 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"). However, this Order does not prohibit the temporary transfer of Petitioner outside of the District for urgent medical care, though Petitioner shall be returned to the District upon the conclusion of such care, and Respondents shall notify this Court within a reasonable time of any such transfer.

ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/13/2026 GRANTING 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Petitioner Pedro Luis Bravo Morillo (A No. 232-695-255) shall be RELEASE IMMEDIATELY from Respondents' custody with the same conditions he was subject to immediately prior to his detention on 3/21/2026. Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless that is determined to be neces sary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. Respondents shall RETURN all of Petitioner's documents and possessions upon his release from custody. Within 3 days from the date of entry of this order, Respondents shall FILE a notice of compli ance with this court confirming that Petitioner has been released in accordance with the above. 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 heari ng before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondents 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.
