MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2). Based on the record filed thus far, it appears Petitioner is likely to succeed on the due process claim and that some form of immediate relief may be appropriate. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than January 13, 2026 why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Any response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents. Petitioner may file a reply no later than January 20, 2026. The Court further directs the parties to indicate on or before their respective filing deadlines (1) whether they are requesting a hearing; and (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing. Depending on the content of the filings, the Court may set a hearing or may rule on the papers.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief.No later than January 4, 2026, to the extent not already accomplished, Petitioner's counsel is directed: (1) to serve Respondents with a copy of the Petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, with a copy to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov, and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on January 3, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 01/03/2026)

STATUS REPORT by Abel Rivera Carlos. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit Exhibits in Support)(Dougherty, Neal) (Entered: 02/04/2026)

#13

Feb 06, 2026

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) On January 20, 2026, the Court ordered Respondents to provide Petitioner with a substantive bond hearing by February 3, 2026. (Doc. 10 .) According to a status report filed by Petitioner on February 4, 2026, (Doc. 12 ), no such bond hearing has been provided. It goes without saying that any such delay adversely impacts the detained person. Therefore, Respondents and counsel for Respondents, Assistant United States Attorney Cameron L. Desmond, are ordered to show cause in writing by no later than 3:00 p.m. on Monday, February 9, 2026: (1) why petitioner should not be released immediately; and (2) why Respondents and/or counsel should not be sanctioned or held in contempt of Court. Alternatively, the parties may stipulate to the immediate release of Petitioner on appropriate conditions signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on February 6, 2026.
