FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 8/25/2026 RECOMMENDING that the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be granted and that Respondent be ordered to immediately release Petitioner from custody. At the time of release, Respondent shall return all of Petitioner's documents and possessions. It is FURTHER RECOMMENDED that the Clerk be directed to serve the California City Detention Facility with a copy of any release order. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 days of notice to Petitioner and provide him with a hearing before an immigration judge at which the government must prove by clear and convincing evidence that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his re-detention is warranted. Referred to Judge Troy L. Nunley. Objections to these Findings and Recommendations are due within 3 days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations.
