MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 7/15/2026: The Court has reviewed petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 3 motion for temporary restraining order. The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 3 motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents may file an opposition to the 1 petition by July 21, 2026. Respondent's filing shall include all referenced/relevant portions of petitioner's A-File, in addition to all of the following documents if they were provided to petitioner: (1) Form I-862, Notice to Appear; (2) Form I-213, Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien; (3) Form I-286, Notice of Custody Determination; and (4) any warrant. Petitioner may file a reply by July 24, 2026. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 7/29/2026: (Text Only Entry); The 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied without prejudice. Petitioner argues that he would like an opportunity to question the legality of his detention. See Doc. 1 at 5-7. But he has already received at least one § 1226(a) bond hearing as recently as June 24, 2026, and the immigration judge denied bond after finding that petitioner was a flight risk. See Doc. 7-7. In Rodriguez Diaz v. Garland, the Ninth Circuit upheld § 1226(a)'s procedures as applied to a detainee, like petitioner, who was detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Rodriguez Diaz v. Garland, 53 F.4th 1189, 1207-14 (9th Cir. 2022). Section 1226(a)'s procedures include placing the burden on the detainee to demonstrate that he is not a flight risk or danger. Id. at 1197, 1210 (citing Matter of Guerra, 24 I. & N. Dec. 37, 40 (B.I.A. 2006)). To the extent petitioner seeks a second § 1226(a) bond hearing, that claim also fails in light of Rodriguez Diaz v. Garland. See id. at 1207-14 (9th Cir. 2022) (due process did not require second bond hearing for noncitizen who was detained for over fourteen months after his first § 1226(a) bond hearing, when noncitizen did not show any constitutional error at first bond hearing and he could request a second bond hearing upon showing changed circumstances pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(e)). Nor does petitioner challenge the merits of the immigration court's denial of bond. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case and terminate any remaining motions as moot.
