MEMORANDUM & ORDER: [T]he writ of habeas corpus requested by the petitioner, Carlos Casanueva Ferro, 1 is GRANTED. The Government is ORDERED to immediately release Ferro from custody in Nashville by 1:00 p.m. CST on Monday, November, 9, 2026, with all possessions, property, and documents that Petitioner had at the time he was taken into custody. The Government is FURTHER ORDERED to file a Status Report with the court no later than 4 p.m. CST on November 9, 2026 to certify compliance with this Order. Finally, Ferro's request for attorneys' fees and costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), as amended, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, must be made by a separate motion. Having determined that Ferro's procedural due process rights were violated, and that he is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus on that basis, the court declines to address his constitutional arguments. (Doc. No. 1 79-90.) The Emergency Motion to Enforce the Court's Order of October 27, 2026 (Doc. No. 10 ) is DENIED AS MOOT. Signed by District Judge Aleta A. Trauger on 11/5/2026.
