Minute Entry for proceedings held before US Magistrate Judge Giselle Lopez-Soler: Evidentiary Hearing held on 3/16/2026.Present on behalf of Petitioner was Attorney Jorge Bird-Serrano. No appearance was made on behalf of Respondent. The Court began by noting that the motion at Dkt. No. 9 had been granted. Attorney Bird advised that he intends to proceed with service of summons today. The Court further noted that the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is set to expire on March 18, 2026. Counsel informed that Petitioner had been transferred to a detention facility in Miami, Florida, the day before the entry of the TRO, and that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) effectuated the transfer in the absence of an order from the Court. Accordingly, the Court deemed the TRO filed at Dkt. No. 3 moot, but the Petition remains pending. Furthermore, Attorney Bird advised that the Court may proceed with the hearing in Petitioner's absence. After hearing from Petitioner's counsel, the Court ordered the government's counsel to show cause on or before March 23, 2026, as to why the petition should not be granted. Further Evidentiary Hearing set for 3/24/2026 09:00 AM in Hato Rey Courtroom 1 before US Magistrate Judge Giselle Lopez-Soler. The U.S. Marshal and the Bureau of Prisons are directed to bring the Petitioner for the evidentiary hearing scheduled for March 24, 2026.(Court Reporter DCR Courtroom 5.)

Minute Entry for proceedings held before US Magistrate Judge Giselle Lopez-Soler: Evidentiary Hearing held on 3/24/2026. Present on behalf of Petitioner was Atty. Jorge Bird-Serrano, on behalf of Respondent were Attys. David Martorani-Dale and Denisse Longo. The case was called for an evidentiary hearing; however, the Court heard arguments on the Governments Motion to Dismiss first. The Government conceded that the Motion to Dismiss at Docket No. 16 is MOOT because the Court has jurisdiction to adjudicate the instant petition as Petitioner was in Puerto Rico at the time when the petition was filed. The Government now seeks a change of venue to the Western District Court of Michigan, where Petitioner is currently detained. Counsel for Petitioner opposed the request for transfer and argued that the case should proceed before this Court. After hearing from the parties, the Court ordered as follows: (1) the Government will facilitate service on Petitioner's immediate custodian in Michigan; (2) the Petitioner will file a response to the Government's request for change of venue by March 26, 2026; and (3) the Government may file a reply by March 27, 2026, limited to no more than seven (7) pages. The parties informed that substantive arguments pertaining to the petition have been submitted and that the case is submitted for disposition on the papers. There is thus no need for an evidentiary hearing. The parties consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction for all further proceedings, including for the entry of judgment. (CIO) (Entered: 03/24/2026)

ORDER. The Government conceded that the Court had jurisdiction. See Docket No. 20 . Petitioner effected service on the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Puerto Rico, and, during the hearing, the Government expressed that it would assist with service on Petitioner's immediate custodian in Michigan. The Court notes, however, that Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i) also requires service on the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the record contains no evidence that such service has been completed. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Petitioners counsel to clarify, no later than April 7, 2026, whether the Attorney General has been properly served.

ORDER re 33 MOTION to Alter Judgment Under Rule 59(e) of the Fed. R. Civ. P.MOTION to Amend/Correct Under Rule 59(e) of the Fed. R. Civ. P. Re: 32 Opinion and Order. The Court is perplexed by the Government's failure to inform of this warrant prior to today. This case was filed more than one month ago, and the Government was allowed plenty of opportunities to inform the Court of this warrant. Indeed, Petitioner argued that a warrant had not been issued, and the Government failed to argue otherwise. The Court will amend its Opinion and Order to provide the correct remedy under the statute now that the Government has provided evidence of the warrant, but not because it made a "manifest error of law," as argued by the Government. The Government's failure to put the Court in a position to properly evaluate the facts of the case is inexcusable and demonstrates a total disregard of judicial resources. Signed by US Magistrate Judge Giselle Lopez-Soler on 4/16/26. (Lopez-Soler, Giselle) (Entered: 04/16/2026)
