MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 3/4/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 4 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 4 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 3/6/2026. 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 3/16/2026. 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. The matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 03/04/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 7/30/2026: In Petitioner's 20 Motion to Enforce Judgment and Appoint Counsel, Petitioner contends that the bond hearing provided to him pursuant to this court's 15 Order did not comply with that Order. In their 22 Opposition, Respondents argue that Petitioner's "broad allegations are insufficient to demonstrate a violation of Due Process." Respondents attach a transcript of the bond hearing and the Immigration Judge's order to their 22 Opposition. When considering whether an Immigration Judge applied the proper standard in a bond hearing, the district court "in the absence of any red flags," takes the Immigration Judge at its word. See Martinez v. Clark, 124 F.4th 775, 785 (9th Cir. 2024). Upon review of the bond hearing transcript, the court does not find any red flags demonstrating that the Immigration Judge applied the wrong standard. Indeed, in both the bond hearing and the order denying bond the Immigration Judge reiterates that the Government must prove Petitioner's continued detention is justified by clear and convincing evidence, considers the evidence presented by both parties, then holds that Petitioner's "numerous convictions demonstrate a danger to the community and disregard for the laws of the State of New York." To the extent Petitioner contends that the evidence submitted by the government was insufficient to meet the applied standard, that argument is properly brought before the Board of Immigration Appeals, not this court. See Loba L.M. v. Andrews, No. 1:25-CV-00611-JLT-SAB, 2026 WL 710307, at *8 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2026) ("Petitioner challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the immigration judge's bond determination rather than the constitutionality of the process by which that determination was reached... Complaints about the conclusion the IJ reached must be presented through the normal immigration appeal process."). Accordingly, Petitioner's 20 Motion to Enforce Judgement and Appoint Counsel is DENIED. This matter shall remain closed. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 07/30/2026)
