MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 3/10/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in Count 1 of 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 March 13, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus as to Count 1 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 March 16, 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 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and this order as well as provide the Petitioner's full name and A number to the US Attorney's Office by March 10, 2026, at 2:00 P.M., at their email usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov.

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 3/20/2026: On March 10, 2026, Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (ECF No. 1 .) Based on the information in the Petition, the Court determined that it appeared Petitioner was entitled to relief and ordered a return pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 2243. (ECF No. 4 .) In the return, the Government agrees that Petitioner is subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) but notes that Petitioner has not requested a bond hearing. (ECF No. 5 .) As a result, the Court finds Petitioner may not be entitled to relief as required by 8 U.S.C. § 2243 as he has not exhausted his available administrative remedies. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for complete merits briefing. [TEXT ONLY ENTRY] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 03/20/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 4/14/26: Petitioner has filed a motion seeking an emergency stay of removal pending adjudication of his habeas petition and the filing of a motion to reopen immigration proceedings. (ECF No. 9 .) The Court withdraws the reference of this case in order to timely address the Motion. Petitioner's Motion (ECF No. 9 ) is DENIED as the Court lacks jurisdiction to review claims arising from the execution of removal orders. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g). This matter is referred back to the assigned Magistrate Judge for all further proceedings. [TEXT ONLY ENTRY] (Deputy Clerk JZ) (Entered: 04/14/2026)
