FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS (Text Only): Petitioner, A No. 244 363 846, is proceeding with a 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging arrest and detention by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) at the Golden State Annex in McFarland. Petitioner has not been provided any hearing before an immigration judge as to the legality of his arrest or detention. Prior to arrest, Petitioner was released into the United States by ICE premised upon either an explicit or implicit finding that Petitioner was not dangerous or a flight risk. While on release, Petitioner did not commit any crimes, materially complied with conditions of release and is not subject to a final order of removal. Considering all of these factors, and consistent with the court's rulings in Martinez v. Chestnut, 1:25-cv-1826 TLN CKD P, ECF No. 14; Rebolledo v. Chestnut, 1:25-cv-1904 CKD P, ECF No. 15; Esteban-Escalante v. Warden, Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center, 1:26-cv-0096 DC CKD P, ECF No. 10 and H.S. v. Warden, Golden State Annex Detention Facility, 1:25-cv-1924 CKD P, ECF No. 21, the court finds petitioner's arrest and detention violate petitioner's Fifth Amendment right to due process, RECOMMENDS THAT THE PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS BE GRANTED and PETITIONER BE ORDERED RELEASED FROM ICE CUSTODY. These Findings and Recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 7 (seven) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any response to the objections shall be filed and served within 7 (seven) days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
