Aug 27, 2026

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 08/27/2026. Petitioner, Jose Lopez-Cruz (A# 245-458-615), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The petition, liberally construed, asserts two violations of petitioner's due process rights: one based on his prolonged detention and another based on the revocation of his release. Respondent is directed to file a response within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders in Lida G.B. v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-2061 TLN CKD, 2026 WL 19104 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 3. 2026), Z.Z. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-2309 TLN JDP, 2026 WL 890476 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 1, 2026), Wistong F. v. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, No. 1:26-cv-3399 TLN DMC, 2026 WL 1361794 (E.D. Cal. May 15, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, and if respondent disputes any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondent's response. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 08/27/2026)
