MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 10/27/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. From these filings, it is unclear whether Petitioner has previously been released from immigration custody, or whether the challenged detention is Petitioner's first contact with immigration authorities. 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). 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)), and where noncitizens were detained by immigration authorities for the first time after having lived in the United States for an extended period of time (See e.g., Alvarez Maciel v. Noem, No. 1:26-cv-01318-DC-CKD, 2026 WL 496948 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 23, 2026); Barajas Ortiz v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-01167-DC-SCR, 2026 WL 508419 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 24, 2026)). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 10/30/2026. 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 Rodriguez Vazquez and this court's applicable orders cited above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 11/13/2026. Finally, the court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. 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. Respondents are further directed to include in their response: (i) the detention authority identified by or relied upon by the detaining agency at the time of detention; (ii) all documentation and evidence verifying that basis for detention and reflecting the steps the detaining agency took to comply with the procedural requirements of that detention authority; and (iii) all documentation, if any, reflecting whether and when Petitioner received notice of that basis for detention. 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 CRS) (Entered: 10/27/2026)

Coggins on 11/2/2026 DENYING 2 Motion to Proceed IFP as moot, DENYING 4 Motion to Appoint Counsel as moot, and GRANTING 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and GRANTING 3 Motion for TRO as follows: D ionadios Francisco Pedro-Mateo 213-386-517 shall be released immediately from Respondents' custody with the same conditions he was subject to immediately prior to his detention on 10/13/2026. Respondents shall not impose any additional restricti on on him, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. Respondents shall return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions upon his release from custody. Respondents shall FILE a notice of compliance with this court confirming that Petitioner has been released within 3 days from the date of entry of this Order. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered.
