MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 10/19/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. Specifically, it appears that Petitioner was detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) without being afforded a bond hearing as required. See Morillo v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01533-DJC-AC; see also E.L.D.M. v Becerra, No. 1:25-cv-01906-DJC-JDP. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before October 22, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus and order Petitioner's release on this same basis by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. This 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 GJM) (Entered: 10/19/2026)

RELEASE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 10/25/2026 GRANTING the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus for the reasons stated in prior orders; Respondents are ORDERED to immediately release Petitioner Elvin Enamorado Brizuela from their custody. Respondents shall not impose any additional restrictions on Petitioner, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no le ss than 7 days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter pursuant to section 1226(a) and its implementing regulations, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. This Ord er 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 Respondents shall file a status report within 5 days confirming Petitioner's release. (cc ICE California City) CASE CLOSED. (Deputy Clerk RRB)
