ORDER. This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 1 . The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to provide notice to the United States Attorney's Office of this action and provide the United States Attorney's Office by email with the 1 Application and a copy of this Order. Within seven days of the Notice to the United States Attorney's Office, by November 10, 2026, Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE why the Petition should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, if Respondents do not file a response to the Petition and Court Order by this deadline, Petitioner shall be released from custody no later than 24 hours after the response deadline, along with all his personal belongings, without onerous conditions of release, including, without limitation, GPS monitoring, mandatory reporting, or other restrictions on his movement. Respondents shall facilitate Petitioner's transportation from the detention facility by providing all necessary identity and travel documents to return to his primary address. Respondents are ENJOINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner unless they demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral decisionmaker, that he is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his physical custody is legally justified pursuant to 8 U.S.C § 1226(a). At any such bond hearing, Respondents shall bear the burden of proof, and Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. This injunction shall remain in effect until such time as this Court, or the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, vacates this Order.
