Nunley on 8/12/2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("the Petition") and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order.

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").

RELEASE ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 8/24/2026 GRANTING the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 1 ; Respondents must IMMEDIATELY RELEASE Petitioner Jose Emilio A.L.

Respondents must file a notice certifying compliance with this provision within two (2) court days from the date of this Order. Respondents are ENJOINED 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 the government shows 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 Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis 2 is GRANTED.. Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order 3 and Motion to Appoint Counsel 4 are DENIED as moot. The Clerk of Court is directed to serve Central Valley Annex with a copy of this Order.
