(In Chambers) ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS by Magistrate Judge Anna Y. Park 1 . Because Respondents elected not to respond to the Petition, the record is devoid of any evidence or argument of a significant government interest in detaining Petitioner. See Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 990 (9th Cir. 2017) (finding "any [immigration] detention incidental to removal must bear a reasonable relation to its purpose"). Nevertheless, the government has no legitimate interest in detaining individuals who cannot be removed. The Court therefore concludes that the Petition must be granted. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Petition and ORDERS Respondents to release Petitioner Barbara Kunde Minuzzi (A#214-868-041) f rom immigration custody immediately. Respondents shall return to Petitioner any of Petitioner's personal belongings that were seized from her, including all identification, work authorization, or other official documents. It is further ORDERED t hat Petitioner shall be returned to the same release conditions in place prior to her current detention. Respondents shall file a "Notice of Release" within three days of the entry of this Order. The Notice shall include confirmation of the return of the above-named belongings. Additionally, Respondents are ENJOINED from re-detaining Petitioner absent strict compliance with the requirements of due process and all applicable statutes and regulations. IT IS SO ORDERED. (SEE ORDER FOR FURTHER DETAILS.) (lkr)
