MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on March 18, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ), which the Court construed as a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order. (ECF No. 7 .) The Court has reviewed the briefing as to Petitioner's motion 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 for prolonged detention; (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 repeatedly ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Meza Linares v. Warden of Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-cv-00047-TLN-EFB (E.D. Ca. Feb. 19, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Respondents must provide a bond hearing within three (3) 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 Petitioner's financial circumstances for bond and alternative conditions of release. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 991 (9th Cir. 2017). At the hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. If Petitioner is not found to be a danger to society or flight risk, Respondents must immediately release Petitioner. Respondents may impose any restrictions or conditions determined to be necessary by the neutral decisionmaker at the hearing. Within five (5) days, Respondent must file a notice of compliance and identify the outcome of the bond hearing. Respondents may apply to the Court for modification or dissolution of the TRO on two days' notice to Petitioner. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(4). The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 302 and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). SO ORDERED.
