MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 04/27/2026: MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 04/27/2027: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Ex-Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 2 .) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's motion and finds Petitioner has met her 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 her claim that Respondent 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. Courts have repeatedly ruled on the issues presented in the instant case. See, e.g., Abushinova v. Warden of Cal. Corr. Ctr ., No. 1:26-cv-00969-TLN-SCR (ECF No. 10 ); see also L.S. v. Warden, Otay Mesa Det. Ctr., No. 25CV3598-LL-BJW, 2026 WL 143150, at *6 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 20, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Respondent must provide a bond hearing within seven (7) days of this Order where Respondent bears 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, Respondent must immediately release Petitioner. Respondent may impose any restrictions or conditions determined to be necessary by the neutral decisionmaker at the hearing. Within eight days from the date of this Order, Respondent must file a notice of compliance with this Court's Order and, if a bond hearing was held, identify the outcome of the hearing. Respondent 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). IT IS SO ORDERED.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney on 5/5/2026: Petitioner (A No. 221 390 346) has filed a motion for the appointment of counsel. There currently exists no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460 (9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage of the case "if the interests of justice so require." See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. In the present case, the court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the appointment of counsel at the present time. Therefore, petitioner's motion (ECF No. 3 ) is DENIED.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney on 5/5/2026: In his habeas petition, petitioner (A No. 221 390 346) seeks a hearing before an immigration judge where the government must show by clear and convincing evidence that petitioner is a flight risk or dangerous to justify further detention. ECF No. 1 at 16-17. The district court judge assigned to this case ordered that such a hearing be held no later than May 4, 2026. ECF No. 5 . Respondents confirm the hearing was held on May 4, 2026. At the hearing, it was found that the Department of Homeland Security met the required burden. That decision may be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals no later than June 3, 2026. ECF No. 8 -1. Petitioner having obtained the relief sought in his petition, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1 ) be dismissed as moot. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 14 days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any response to the objections shall be served and filed within 7 days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
