MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on January 29, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex-Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) 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 issue a preliminary injunction continuing the terms of this Order. 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 with a copy via email to: usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. 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: 01/29/2026)

Respondents are ENJOINED from re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with cons titutional protections, including a minimum of seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral fact-finder where (a) Respondents show material changed circumstances demonstrate a significant likelihood of Petitioner's remo val in the reasonably foreseeable future, or (b) Respondents demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the Government's interest in protecting the public and/or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. CASE CLOSED. (Deputy Clerk KML)
