MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/21/2026:The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 3 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). In addition, 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 id. at 1167. 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 previously addressed claims where noncitizens were detained after overstaying their visa. 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). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 10/23/2026. 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 11/6/2026. 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 MCF) (Entered: 10/21/2026)
