TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner Hugo Manuel Tzep Tambriz's petition for a writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1, "Petition") in which he seeks immediate release from immigration custody. Petitioner alleges that Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") officers violated 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2) when they arrested him and failed to properly reinstate Petitioner's prior order of removal pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 241.8 before carrying out his arrest and detention. (ECF No. 10 at 4.) In the I-213 submitted by Respondents, the arresting officer's narrative states that Petitioner's arrest was carried out pursuant to an administrative warrant, Form I-205. (ECF No. 9-3 at 2.) Respondents, however, have not produced a copy of that arrest warrant. Without a copy of this warrant, the Court cannot fully consider Petitioner's arguments regarding the legality of his arrest and detention. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents provide the Court with a copy of the I-205, Warrant for Arrest of Alien, by no later than the end of the day on October 5, 2026.. So Ordered by Judge Katharine S. Hayden on 10/2/26. (cm, ) (Entered: 10/02/2026)
