[DISREGARD - see ECF No. 4] MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 1/27/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). Given the nature of Petitioner's requested relief, the Court construes the Petition as also a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The issues raised therein appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Singh v. Andrews, No. 1:25-cv-01543-DJC-SCR; Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD. On or before January 30, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from the Court's prior orders in the cases listed above and would justify denial of a preliminary injunction. Respondents should also state whether they oppose this Court converting the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to a Motion for Preliminary Injunction. The matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order together with a copy of Petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the United States Attorney.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 02/02/2026: In light of the information provided in the response filed by the Government indicating that Petitioner has received a bond hearing where the Immigration Judge denied bond based on a determination that Petitioner was a danger to the community (ECF No. 8-8 at 3-4), the Court finds that Petitioner has not presently established a likelihood of success on the merits. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 1 ) is denied. This matter is referred to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings on the merits of the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (Deputy Clerk CRN) (Entered: 02/02/2026)
