ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Petitioner Enrique Adalberto Martinez Cruz, an immigration detainee, has filed a counseled Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) and a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 2 ). Through them, he challenges the lawfulness of his ongoing detention at Nevada Southern Detention Center in the custody of Federal Respondents. The Court has reviewed the Petition and preliminarily finds Petitioner can likely demonstrate that he is a member of the certified class ("Class Member") in Jacobo-Ramirez v. Mullin, No. 25-cv-02136-RFB-MDC (D. Nev.) and entitled to relief pursuant to the Courts classwide declaratory judgment and vacatur. See Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, No. 2:25-cv-02136-RFB-MDC, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026). Therefore, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why Petitioner is NOT a Class Member AND why the Writ should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Respondents shall file, in writing, a (i) notice of appearance and (ii) "a return certifying the true cause of detention" on or before April 8, 2026. See id. Petitioner may file a traverse on or before April 13, 2026. See Order to Show Cause for additional information. Signed by Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 4/3/2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF. A copy of the Petition (ECF No. 1 ), Motion (ECF No. 2 ), attachments (ECF No. 1 -1), and this Order distributed as instructed. - RJDG) (Entered: 04/03/2026)
