MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on August 4, 2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("the Petition") and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order.

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").

RELEASE ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 8/10/2026 GRANTING the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Respondents must IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner Khial M. (A# 241-092-449) from custody under the same conditions as his prior release. At the time of release, Respondents must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. Respondents must file a notice of compliance with this provision by 8/11/2026. Respondents are ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner, while subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), absent compliance with statutory and constitutional protections, including a minimum of seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where Respondents demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the government's interest in protecting the public or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention such that no alternative to detention can mitigate that risk. See Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 690; Hernandez, 872 F.3d at 990. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. Petitioner's 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Motion to Appoint Counsel are DENIED as moot. The Clerk of Court shall serve this Order on the California City Detention Facility, enter judgment in favor of Petitioner, and close this case. CASE CLOSED.
