ORDER. Upon review of the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, it is ORDERED that Petitioner shall SERVE Respondents with a copy of the 1 Petition and 5 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail and overnight mail, on or before 6/26/2026. Petitioner shall promptly file proof of such service on the docket, and counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter their notices of appearance. Within seven days of service, Respondents shall RESPOND to the Motion and SHOW CAUSE why the Petition shall not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v. Collins, No. 1:25-cv-00786-ADA-SH, 2025 WL 1954064, at *1 (W.D. Tex. July 7, 2025) (explaining that while § 2243 refers to a three day deadline, this requirement is "subordinate to the district court's authority to set deadlines" itself, and granting respondents a fourteen day deadline to respond in order to "give [r]espondents adequate time to brief the issues" (quotations omitted)). Petitioner shall file a reply within seven calendar days after Respondents' response is filed. Pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.

MINUTE ORDER. This Court finds, consistent with Quiroz, the Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C § 1226(a) and is entitled to a bond redetermination hearing. The Petition therefore is granted. The Court orders that: 1) Respondents shall conduct such hearing within four business days of this Order, by July 22, 2026, and 2) the burden of proof shall be on the government to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that continued detention is justified. If Petitioner is not provided a bond determination hearing within this time, the Respondents shall release Petitioner. The Parties shall file a status report within five business days of this Order, by July 23, 2026, apprising the Court on whether the bond hearing was held, the result of such hearing, and/or whether Petitioner was released because of such hearing or in compliance with this Order. All other claims raised by Petitioner are denied as moot. Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order [ECF 5 ] is denied as moot. By Magistrate Judge Timothy P. O'Hara on 7/16/2026.(ggill, ) (Entered: 07/16/2026)
