ENDORSED ORDER. The Government concedes that Petitioner was detained in this case without a notice to appear. Given his prior removal proceedings were dismissed, the Government is directed to explain the legal authority to detain Petitioner in the first place. See Gonzalez Ochoa v. McCleary, No. 3:25-CV-00139-SHL-WPK, 2026 WL 235589, at *4 (S.D. Iowa Jan. 2, 2026). The Government must file a supplemental brief addressing this question on or before February 9, 2026. Signed by District Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 2/5/2026. (Dudek, Kyle) (Entered: 02/05/2026)
