MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/21/2026. Before the Court are Mr. Rafael Herrera Castenada's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 11 ) ("IFP Application") and Second Amended Petition (ECF No. 12 ).As a preliminary matter, the Court has reviewed Petitioner's financial circumstances, see generally IFP Application, and concludes that Petitioner should not be required to pay the filing fee in this matter. See 28 U.S.C. §1915(a) (enabling petitioners in civil detention to seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Petitioner's IFP Application is GRANTED.The Court has also reviewed the Second Amended Petition, as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 7 ), and preliminarily finds that Mr. Gonzalez Silva may be entitled to habeas relief under: (i.) Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, --- F. Supp. 3d ---, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026); (ii.) the Immigration and Nationality Act; and (iii.) the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.Therefore, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE for Petitioner's detention. See 28 U.S.C.§ 2243. Specifically, Respondents must file a "return certifying the true cause of detention" on or before July 23, 2026. In doing so, Respondents should not re-argue their faulty interpretation of 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), as this issue has already been litigated in, and decided by, this Court. See generally Jacobo Ramirez, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026). With that being said, Respondents may reference their prior briefing on this issue for appellate purposes. Finally, if Respondents intend to rely on a separate source of detention authority, they must identify it in their return.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Respondents must file a supplement which answers the following interrogatories under oath, see Rule 7, Rules Governing § 2254 Proceedings in the United States District Courts: (1.) Was Petitioner arrested pursuant to a lawfully executed, and served, administrative warrant pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(b)? (2.) Was an initial custody determination conducted as to Petitioner pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8)? (3.) Was a Form I-286 Notice of Custody Determination served on Petitioner pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(g)? Respondents must file this supplement alongside their return, i.e. by July 23, 2026.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Petitioner has up to, and including, July 28, 2026, to reply. (Entered: 07/21/2026)
