MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/7/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 5 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Noncitizens admitted to the United States pursuant to a visa are subject to discretionary detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) if they "overstay or violate the terms of their visa[]" or lawful nonimmigrant status. See Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, 183 F.4th 1160, 1167 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). Further, this court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count One of the Petition. See e.g., Oliveira Tinoco v. Albarran, No. 1:26-cv-05505-DC-CKD, 2026 WL 2949219 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 1, 2026); Kaur v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-05349-DC-CSK, 2026 WL 2790742, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 17, 2026); Zhou v. Warden, Cal. City Immigr. Processing Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-05774-DC-CSK, 2026 WL 2825584, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 21, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 5 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 10/9/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from Oliveira Tinoco, Kaur, and Zhou. Petitioner may file a Reply by 10/23/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 10/07/2026)
