MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 4/22/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. This court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count One of the Petition. See M.M. v. Bondi, No. 1:26-cv-00813-DC-AC, 2026 WL 604200 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 4, 2026); Nasar v. Warden, No. 2:26-cv-00433-DC-AC, 2026 WL 731160 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 16, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 4/24/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the prior orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 5/8/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition, albeit as to Count One only, to the extent a ruling on that Count entitles Petitioner to the relief sought in the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 04/22/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 5/12/2026: In Respondents' 7 Opposition to Petitioner's 2 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, Respondents distinguish Petitioner's case from those cited in the court's 6 Order by emphasizing that Petitioner was detained by immigration authorities immediately following his release from jail in relation to his failure to appear in court regarding a misdemeanor offense. Respondents attach the [7-2] FBI RAP sheet reflecting that arrest. The court has previously found that where the government presents non-pretextual reasons to detain a noncitizen already present in the United States pending removal proceedings, the proper remedy for the government's failure to provide a pre-deprivation bond hearing is a post-deprivation bond hearing, not immediate release. See, e.g., Calvillo v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00569-DC-CSK, 2026 WL 253627 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 31, 2026); Chateauneuf v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-01073-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 523695 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 25, 2026). Accordingly, for the reasons explained in Calvillo and Chateauneuf, Petitioner's 2 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED IN PART as follows: (1) Respondents shall, within fourteen (14) days of issuance of this order, provide Petitioner Daniel Aguilar Chavez (A-221-452-360) with a bond hearing before an immigration judge at which the government shall bear the burden of justifying Petitioner's continued detention by clear and convincing evidence; and (2) Petitioner's request for immediate release is DENIED. This matter is REFERRED to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings. (Text Only Entry) (cc: ICE - California City) (Deputy Clerk MCF) (Entered: 05/12/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 6/5/2026: On 5/27/26, respondent moved to dismiss the petition as moot "[b]ecause Petitioner has been granted the court-ordered bond hearing." (ECF No. 10 .) The court ordered that, at petitioner's bond hearing, "the government shall bear the burden of justifying Petitioner's continued detention by clear and convincing evidence." (ECF No. 8 .) Respondent provides the immigration judge's written order, wherein the immigration judge wrote "flight risk" as the reasoning for denying bond. (ECF No. 10 -1.) This evidence is insufficient for the court to determine whether petitioner's bond hearing complied with the court's order regarding the burden of proof. Accordingly, respondent IS HEREBY ORDERED to lodge a transcript and/or audio recording of petitioner's bond hearing no later than 6/12/2026. (Text Only Entry).
