Text Order GRANTING 2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis entered by Judge Xavier Rodriguez. The Court may waive the initial filing fee and costs where a plaintiff submits an affidavit indicating that he or she is unable to pay these fees and costs. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Plaintiff indicates that she is currently detained, has no income, no assets, and no ability to pay the filing fee. ECF No. 2. The Court exercises its discretion to waive the fee. See Williams v. Estelle, 681 F.2d 946, 947 (5th Cir. 1982) (noting the Court's discretion in IFP determinations).(This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.)

TEXT ORDER FOR SERVICE of 1 Writ of Habeas Corpus signed by Judge Xavier Rodriguez. It is ORDERED that notice of electronic filing of 1 Petition and this Order to the United States Attorney in San Antonio, Texas shall constitute service on the Federal Respondents and on all Respondents unless otherwise contested. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file a response to the Petition within seven (7) days of the date of service. The response must identify: (1) Petitioner's alleged country of birth, so that Petitioner can be located in the Online Detainee Locator System; (2) Petitioner's alleged date of entry and statutory basis for removability; (3) any previous immigration detention history, e.g., whether Petitioner has previously been subject to immigration detention and, if so, the approximate date of Petitioner's previous release into the interior; and (4) Petitioner's alleged immigration status, e.g., whether Petitioner has a pending claim for asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture or is subject to a final removal order. Additionally, because this case appears to turn on whether Petitioners detention without a bond hearing violates the due process rights afforded to noncitizens who have established a substantial presence in the United States, Respondents must consider the Courts prior orders addressing this question and note any material factual differences between those cases and this one. E.g., Valencia Reyes v. Noem, No. SA-25-CV-1921-XR, 2026 WL 981034 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 25, 2026); Gonzalez Carrillo v. Bondi, No. SA-26-CV-778-XR, 2026 WL 981037 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 26, 2026). If Respondents so choose, in lieu of a full response, they may instead file a response indicating that there are no material factual differences here and preserving all legal arguments made by the Federal Respondents in those cases. It is FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner elects to file a reply, Petitioner may do so no later than seven days after the Respondents file their answers/responses. (cb) (Entered: 06/04/2026)
