MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/9/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Noncitizens present without admission who are apprehended in the interior of the United States are subject to discretionary detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, not mandatory detention under § 1225(b)(2)(A). See Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, 183 F.4th 1160, 1165 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). This court has previously addressed claims where noncitizens were re-detained after being released from immigration custody. See, e.g., Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 818 F. Supp. 3d 1141 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025); Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 815 F. Supp. 3d 1113 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025); D.L.C. v. Wofford, 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026). This court has also decided cases where noncitizens were detained by immigration authorities for the first time after having lived in the United States for an extended period of time. See, e.g., Alvarez Maciel v. Noem, No. 1:26-cv-01318-DC-CKD, 2026 WL 496948 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 23, 2026); Barajas Ortiz v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-01167-DC-SCR, 2026 WL 508419 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 24, 2026); see also Padilla v. U.S. Immigr. & Customs Enf't, No. 24-2801, 2026 WL 2822044, at *19 (9th Cir. Sept. 21, 2026) ("Noncitizens who arrive illegally and are found away from the border well after arrival are protected from arbitrary detention in violation of the Due Process Clause."). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 10/13/2026. In their response, Respondents shall indicate whether Petitioner has previously been released from immigration custody, and shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the cases referenced. Petitioner may file a Reply by 10/27/2026. Finally, the court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition. See A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Both parties shall 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: 10/09/2026)

ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/15/2026 GRANTING Petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner Angel Guaman Apullun (A-222-573-914) shall be RELEASED IMMEDIATELY from Respondents' custody. Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. Respondents shall RETU RN all of Petitioner's documents and possessions (e.g., identification, passport, work permit, Social Security card, etc.) upon his release from custody. Within 3 days from the date of entry of this order, Respondents shall FILE a notice of c ompliance with this court confirming that Petitioner has been released in accordance with this order. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, they shall provide him with a bond hearing pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 1236.1(c)(8) at which Petitioner shall bear the burden of showing that he is not a flight risk or a risk to community safety. This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondents may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final ord er of removal and Petitioner receives notice of that final order of removal. The pending 3 motion is DENIED as having been rendered moot by this order. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the California City Detention Facility, enter judgment for Petitioner, and close this case. CASE CLOSED.
