MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey on 5/1/2026. On March 26, 2025, Petitioner Santos Perez Ramirez filed a threadbare petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking his release from immigration custody. 1 I appointed the FPD as counsel for petition and directed counsel to file an amended petition, if one was warranted, and stayed the respondents' obligation to respond until further order. 3 Petitioner has now filed a counseled amended petition, and I find that it states a prima facie case for relief. 9 So I direct the respondents to file a response to the amended petition by May 15, 2026. The respondents must file any documents referenced or relied upon in their responsive pleading with that pleading. The petitioner's reply is due May 22, 2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - MH) (Entered: 05/01/2026)

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey on 6/17/2026. The respondents move to dismiss petitioner Santos Perez Ramirez's amended habeas petition on exhaustion grounds. 16 I have determined that the exhaustion question would be better considered in conjunction with the briefing on the merits of the petition. So the respondents' motion is DENIED without prejudice to raising those arguments again as part of a substantive response to the petition.The respondents must file a substantive response containing all of the arguments they seek to raise in this case by June 24, 2026. The respondents must attach any documents referenced or relied upon in their responsive pleading with that pleading, and they must specifically attach petitioner's (1) I-200 warrant for arrest of alien; (2) form I-286 initial custody determination; (3) form I-862 notice to appear; and (4) any further documents that might shed light on the detention authority under which the petitioner is currently detained. Petitioner's reply is due by July 1, 2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - MH) (Entered: 06/17/2026)
