MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 2/7/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Garcia Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD; Lopez v. Lyons, No. 2:25-cv-03174-DJC-CKD. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before February 11, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. In such a return, Respondents identify any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders listed above and justify denying the petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. Petitioner may file a reply on or before February 12, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. Petitioner's counsel is DIRECTED to send a copy of the petition, the motion, and this order as well as provide the Petitioner's full name and A number to the US Attorney's Office by February 8, 2026, at 11:59 A.M., at their email usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Petitioner's Counsel shall file a such proof of service on the docket. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. IT IS SO ORDERED.
