FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 7/7/2026 RECOMMENDING the 8 motion to dismiss be denied. The 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus be granted. Respondents be ordered to immediately release petitio ner (A-Number: 246-758-760) from their custody on the same conditions as his prior release. Respondents shall not impose any additional restrictions on petitioner, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation hearing. If th e government seeks to re-detain petitioner, it must provide no less than seven days' notice to petitioner and must hold a constitutionally compliant pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter at which the government bears the burde n of proving flight risk or danger by clear and convincing evidence. This order does not address the circumstances in which respondents may detain petitioner in the event petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal. The Cler k of Court be directed to serve California City Detention Facility with a copy of this order. The Clerk of Court be ordered to enter judgment accordingly and close this case. Referred to Judge Troy L. Nunley. Objections to F&R due within 7 days. (Deputy Clerk KLY)
