MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 8/25/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in the Petition appear similar to those addressed in this Court's prior orders concerning Respondents' compliance with 8 C.F.R. § 241.13(i)(2) in re-detaining individuals subject to a final order of removal who were previously released from custody. See Ciuciu v. Warden, California City Corrections Center, No. 1:26-cv-03274-DJC-JDP (concluding 8 CFR § 241.13(i)(2), and not § 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(6) applies to revocation of release following imposition of a final order of removal); see also Moua v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-02238-DJC-JDP. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before August 28, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus and order Petitioner's release by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Petitioner may file a reply on or before August 31, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. Pending the Court's ruling on the Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (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"). IT IS SO ORDERED. [TEXT ONLY ENTRY] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 08/25/2026)
