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. The Court intends to rule directly on the Petition, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made in support of the motion. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2). Within 2 court days, Respondents shall answer the Petition. Any response must include Petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter; any orders of release or detention; any custody determinations, warrants or notices; and any other portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the Petition. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). 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").

ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 08/10/2026 GRANTING the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Respondent must IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner Adolfo C.M., A# 222-567-144, from custody. At the time of release, Respondent must return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. Respondent must file a notice of compliance with this provision by 8/11/2026. Respondent is 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 7 days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where the government demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that its 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. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. Petitioner's 3 Motion to Proceed IFP is GRANTED and Petitioner's 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is DENIED as moot. CASE CLOSED. (cc: California City) (Deputy Clerk KS) (Entered: 08/10/2026)
