Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: Maximino Lorenzo Lascano, a citizen of Mexico, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his detention without a bond hearing. See Dkt. 1 ("Pet."). 1. Petitioner has resided continuously in the United States since 2006. Dkt. 1 ¶ 19. On January 12, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Petitioner in Indio, California. Id. Since then, he has continuously been detained at the Imperial Regional Detention Center. Id.2. For the reasons stated in Pacheco v. LaRose, No. 3:25-CV-2421-JO-AHG, 2026 WL 242300, *2-*3 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 29, 2026), the Court finds that 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(g), (a)(5), and (b)(9) do not bar Petitioner's collateral challenge to the constitutionality and legality of his current detention. 3. Further, for the reasons stated in Pacheco, No. 3:25-CV-2421-JO-AHG, 2026 WL 242300, *3-*5, the Court finds that Petitioner is subject to the discretionary detention framework of § 1226, not § 1225(b)(2), because he was already residing in the United States at the time of his arrest. Dkt. 1 ¶ 19. Therefore, Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing. The Court's order and injunctive terms are set forth at Dkt. 6. Signed by Judge Jinsook Ohta on 03/23/2026.
