MINUTE ORDER Granting Petition. Having reviewed Respondents 4 Return, the record before the Court establishes that ICE officials arrested Petitioner pursuant to a Form I-200 Warrant of Arrest before a Notice to Appear had been issued.

The Court GRANTS Petitioner's 1 Petition and ORDERS Respondents to release Petitioner from detention as soon as practicable. (no document attached) (sxe) (Entered: 10/14/2026)
