MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 2/4/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 6 motion for temporary restraining order. The court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count Two of the petition. See e.g., Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 1:25-cv-01762-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 3567862 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025), Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 1:25-cv-01598-DC-SCR, 2025 WL 3458802 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025), and D.L.C. v. Wofford, 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 6 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 2/6/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 12:00 PM on 2/9/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the petition, albeit as to Count Two only, to the extent a ruling on that count entitles Petitioner to the relief sought in the petition. If Petitioner has not already served a copy of the petition and motion by email to the US Attorney's Office at their email address (usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov), Petitioner's counsel shall do so by no later than 5:00 PM on 2/5/2026. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Deputy Clerk RAA) (Entered: 02/04/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 2/5/2026: In Respondents' 8 Opposition to Petitioner's 6 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, Respondents continue to oppose issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order. However, Respondents acknowledge the decisions from this court in Selis Tinoco v. Noem, et al., 1:25-cv-01762-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 3567862 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025), D.L.C. v. Wofford, et al., 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, and acknowledge that this case is not distinguishable from those cases. Accordingly, pursuant to the court's reasoning in Selis Tinoco and D.L.C., Petitioner's 6 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED, and the court ORDERS the following: (1) Petitioner shall be released immediately from the Respondents' custody; (2) Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing; and (3) If the Government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. Moreover, in light of Respondents' non-opposition to treating Petitioner's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order as a Motion for Preliminary Injunction (See Doc. No. 8), and given that the standard for issuing a Temporary Restraining Order is "substantially identical" to the standard for issuing a Preliminary Injunction, Stuhlbarg Int'l Sales Co. v. John D. Brush & Co., 240 F.3d 832, 839 n.7 (9th Cir. 2001), the court hereby ISSUES a Preliminary Injunction on the same terms. This case is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
