Apr. 28, 2026) controls, or whether otherwise there is any material basis to distinguish the instant case from this Court's prior decisions in Y- C- v.

Mullin, No. 26-cv-03611, ECF No. 9 (E.D.N.Y. June 23, 2026), Menjivar v. Genalo, No. 26-cv-02506, ECF No. 16 (E.D.N.Y. June 12, 2026), or any other decision of this Court. If respondents take the position that the present case is controlled by Barbosa Da Cunha and/or is not materially different from one or more of the Court's prior decisions, respondents shall further state whether respondents consent to the issuance of the writ, and petitioner's immediate release, subject to preservation of respondents' arguments for appeal. If respondents take the position that the present case is not controlled by Barbosa Da Cunha or any of the Court's prior decisions, respondents are ordered to show cause, in writing, as to why the relief sought in the Petition should not be granted and otherwise respond to the factual and legal assertions in the Petition no later than Friday, October 23, 2026. If respondents file a response to the Order to Show Cause, petitioner shall file a reply no later than Friday, October 30, 2026.
