MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 2, 2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's Motion for TRO by March 4, 2026. Respondents' response shall include Petitioner's Form I-213, Form I-220A, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and any other portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the TRO. Respondents' failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition to the Court granting a TRO. See L.R. 230(c). In the meantime, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction."). The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this minute order on the U.S. Attorney's Office via email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 03/02/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 25, 2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's motion to appoint counsel (ECF No. 3 ). In light of the complexity of the legal issues involved, the Court has determined that the interests of justice require the appointment of counsel for Petitioner. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983). Therefore, Petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 3 ) is GRANTED. Within seven (7) court days from the date of this Order, the appointing authority for the Eastern District of California shall identify counsel and send counsel's contact information to Michele Krueger, Courtroom Deputy for Chief Judge Troy Nunley, via email at mkrueger@caed.uscourts.gov, who shall update the docket to reflect counsel's appointment. If counsel is not a member of the Eastern District of California Criminal Justice Act ("CJA") Panel, the Court hereby authorizes them to serve as CJA counsel for petitioner for the duration of the proceedings in this Court pursuant to Local Rule 180(b)(1).

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 9, 2026: : This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents filed an opposition arguing that Petitioner has been detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c). (ECF No. 8 .) Petitioner replied (ECF No. 13 ) and submitted some evidence that he has not been charged with a Laken Riley Act offense (Id. at 8 ). Petitioner's newly appointed counsel also filed a supplement. (ECF No. 15 .) The Court has reviewed the parties' briefs 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 claims 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 ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Tutka v. Noem, No. 1:26-CV-00706-TLN-EFB, 2026 WL 743354, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 17, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Respondents must provide Petitioner (A# 249-260-698) a bond hearing within five (5) days of this Order where Respondents bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence before a neutral decisionmaker that Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk. The decisionmaker must consider alternative conditions of release and Petitioner's financial circumstances for bond. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 991 (9th Cir. 2017). At the hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. If Respondents do not timely provide a bond hearing or Petitioner is not found to be a danger to the community or flight risk, Respondents must immediately release Petitioner under the same terms of his 2024 release. Respondents may impose any additional restrictions or conditions determined to be necessary by the neutral decisionmaker at timely held bond hearing. By April 16, 2026, Respondents shall file a notice of compliance identifying the date and outcome of the bond hearing and Petitioner's custody status. The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned U.S. Magistrate Judge for all further proceedings. SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 04/09/2026)
