MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on February 10, 2026: On January 20, 2026, Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (ECF No. 1 ) Based on the substance of Petitioner's brief and the relief requested therein, the Court construed Petitioner's pleading as a motion for a temporary restraining order and ordered Respondents to file an opposition. (ECF No. 4 .) On January 23, 2026, Respondents filed an answer to the petition for writ of habeas corpus/ opposition. (ECF No. 6 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and Respondents' opposition 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 that Respondents violated 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., Morales-Flores v. Lyons, No. 1:25-CV-01640-TLN-EFB, 2025 WL 3552841, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 11, 2025). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. To return Petitioner to the status quo ante litem, Respondents are ORDERED to IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner under the same conditions he was released prior to his current detention. 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. Respondents are further ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not grant the First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and enter judgment in favor of Petitioner. Respondents shall file responsive papers or indicate to the Court that they intend to submit on the briefing by February 13, 2026. Petitioner may file a reply by February 18, 2026. The parties shall indicate whether they waive a hearing. 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. SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 02/10/2026)
