MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 8/18/2026 DIRECTING Respondent to show cause why the writ should not be granted by filing an answer within 14 days. Petitioner may file a reply within 7 days after being served a copy of it. The undersigned further directs the parties to brief whether petitioner's detention violates his substantive due process rights using the five-factor test described in Doe v. Chestnut, 810 F.Supp.3d 1169 (E.D. Cal. 2025), in addition to fully briefing all other claims and issues that the parties wish to present. Absent a further order of the court, the petition will be taken under submission after the filing of the reply. The parties shall inform the court as expeditiously as possible in the event that petitioner obtains an immigration bond and it is paid resulting in his/her release or that a travel document is obtained for petitioner that will result in his/her imminent removal from this country. Either party shall update the court by filing a Notice of Changed Circumstances that informs the court of the circumstances that have changed. To ensure this Court's jurisdiction to resolve the pending § 2241 petition, Respondent shall not transfer Petitioner to another detention center outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the Court. Parties must review this MINUTE ORDER Document which is a scheduling order. [See attached for details.] (Deputy Clerk SH) (Entered: 08/18/2026)
