ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Petitioner Rafael Pea Trejo, immigration detainee, has filed a counseled petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1 ) and a motion for a temporary restraining order (ECF No. 2 ). Through them, he challenges the lawfulness of his detention at Henderson Detention Center in the custody of Federal Respondents. The Court has reviewed the Petition and Motion and preliminarily finds Petitioner can likely demonstrate that his circumstances warrant the same relief as this Court ordered for Petitioners Mena-Vargas and Reyes-Lopez in Escobar Salgado v. Mattos, No. 2:25-cv-01872-RFB-EJY, 2025 WL 3205356 (D. Nev. Nov. 17, 2025). Therefore, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Respondents shall file, in writing, a (i) notice of appearance and (ii) a response "certifying the true cause of detention" on or before February 2, 2026. See id. Petitioner may file a reply on or before February 5, 2026. See Order to Show Cause for additional information. Signed by Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 1/28/2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF. CC: USM. A copy of the Petition (ECF No. 1 ), attachments (ECF Nos. 1 -1, 1 -2, 1 -3, 1 -4, 1 -5, 1 -6, 1 -7, 1 -8, 1 -9, 1 -10), Motion (ECF No. 2 ), and this Order distributed as instructed. - RJDG) (Entered: 01/28/2026)
