PAPERLESS ORDER: By no later than noon on December 22, 2025, the parties shall submit simultaneous supplemental briefs addressing the following issues: (1) What impact, if any, the ongoing litigation in Maldonado Bautista, et al. v. Santacruz, et al., No. 5:25-cv-01873-SSS-BFM (C.D. Cal.), and in particular the Maldonado Bautista Court's recent certification of a nationwide class, has on this case; (2) How, if at all, the Fourth Circuit's decisions in Jimenez-Rodriguez v. Garland, 996 F.3d 190, 194 n.2 (4th Cir. 2021), and Santana v. Garland, 92 F.4th 491, 497 (4th Cir. 2024), vacated and remanded, 145 S. Ct. 1042 (2025), support or undermine the parties' respective interpretations of 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A); (3) How the other usages of the phrase "seeking admission" in 8 U.S.C. § 1225, specifically at subsections (a)(3) and (a)(5), should inform the Court's interpretation of the phrase's meaning as it is used in 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A); (4) How the Court should rule on the petition if it concludes that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) is unambiguous that "applicants for admission" necessarily qualify as "aliens seeking admission" but also finds that interpreting 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) as applying to all noncitizens who have entered the United States without inspection would render 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)(1)(E) superfluous and that there is a "longstanding practice of the government," see Loper Bright Enters. v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369, 386 (2024) (quoting NLRB v. Noel Canning, 573 U.S. 513, 525 (2014)), of providing bond hearings to noncitizens who have entered without inspection; and (5) How the Court should rule on the petition if it concludes that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) is ambiguous about whether "applicants for admission" necessarily qualify as "aliens seeking admission" but also finds that interpreting 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) as applying to all noncitizens who have entered the United States without inspection would render 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)(1)(E) superfluous and that there is a "longstanding practice of the government," see Loper Bright Enters., 603 U.S. at 386 (quoting Noel Canning, 573 U.S. at 525), of providing bond hearings to noncitizens who have entered without inspection. There shall be no page limitation on the supplemental briefs. Signed by Judge Deborah L. Boardman on 12/11/2025. (Entered: 12/11/2025)
