MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on January 28, 2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. (ECF No. 2 .) In support of his motion, Petitioner submits a brief concerning a different petitioner and respondents not involved in this case. (ECF No. 2 -1.) Because Petitioner fails to submit a brief on the relevant legal issues presented in the instant case (see Local Rule 231(c)), Petitioner's Motion is DENIED without prejudice. (ECF No. 2 .) Petitioner may re-file an amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order that conforms with the local rules. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 01/28/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on January 28, 2026: ORDER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM DETENTION FACILITY: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex-Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 7 .) 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 claim 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 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and enter judgment in favor of Petitioner. Respondents shall file responsive papers by February 4, 2026. Petitioner may file a reply by February 9, 2026. The parties shall indicate whether they waive a hearing. Petitioner shall immediately serve this Order, along with Petitioner's A # and all documents filed in this case, on Respondents. 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: 01/28/2026)
