MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 27, 2026: 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 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 claim that his detention violates the Immigration and Nationality Act; (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., Brayan C. C. v. Warden of California City Corr. Ctr., No. 2:26-CV-00641-TLN-JDP, 2026 WL 710358, at *2-3 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2026). Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. To return Petitioner to the status quo ante litem, Respondents are ORDERED to IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner (A# 240-394-173) under the same conditions he was released prior to his current detention. At the time of release, Respondents must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. Respondents are ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with constitutional protections, including seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing. Petitioner shall immediately serve this Order, along with Petitioner's A # and all documents filed in this case, on Respondents with a copy via email to: usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. 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. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve Golden State Annex Detention Facility with a copy of this Order. Respondents must file a notice certifying compliance with this provision of the Court's Order by 8:00 p.m. on April 28, 2026. 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.
