MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 7/22/2026.Before the Court is Petitioner Cano Rojas' motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 9 ) ("IFP Application") and First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 8 ) ("Petition").As a preliminary matter, the Court finds that Petitioner's financial circumstances entitle him to proceed in forma pauperis. See ECF No. 9 . Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Petitioner's IFP Application (ECF No. 9 ) is GRANTED.The Court has also reviewed the Petition, as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 7 ), and preliminarily finds that Mr. Cano Rojas may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and Jacobo Ramirez v. Mullin, No. 2:25-cv-02136-RFB-BNW, 2026 WL 879799 (D. Nev. Mar. 30, 2026).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 27, 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, 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 Petitioner has up to, and including, July 31, 2026, to reply.Finally, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Court's prior orders regarding briefing, document production, transfer, etc. remain in full effect. See generally Order Appointing Counsel, ECF No. 4 .(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JT) (Entered: 07/22/2026)
