MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 11/3/2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex-Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and finds Petitioner has met his burden establishing a TRO is warranted under the factors articulated in Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). Petitioner has established: (1) a likelihood of success on his claims that his detention violates the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause; (2) Petitioner will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a TRO; (3) the balance of equities tip in Petitioner's favor; and (4) a TRO is in the public interest. The Court has repeatedly ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Navjot S. v. Warden of the Golden State Annex Det. Facility, No. 1:26-CV-00311-TLN-CSK, 2026 WL 370140, at *2-4 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 10, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. (ECF No. 2 .) To return Petitioner to the status quo ante litem, Respondents are ORDERED to IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner (A# 206-443-602). At the time of release, Respondents must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. Respondents are ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with constitutional protections, including seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where Respondents show by clear and convincing evidence that the government's interest in protecting the public or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention such that no alternative to detention can mitigate that risk. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. In lieu of the briefing schedule set forth in Paragraph 3 of the Court's Standing Order (ECF No. 3 -2), Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not grant the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and enter judgment in favor of Petitioner. Respondents shall file responsive papers within seven (7) days. Petitioner may file a reply seven (7) days after Respondents file their response. Respondents may apply to the Court for modification or dissolution of the TRO on two days' notice to Petitioner. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(4). The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. Petitioner shall immediately serve this Order, along with all documents filed in this case, on Respondents with a copy via email to: usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve Central Valley Annex Detention Facility with a copy of this Order. SO ORDERED.
