ORDER GRANTING THE PETITION, ORDERING PETITIONER'S RELEASE FROM CUSTODY, AND REQUIRING SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING by Magistrate Judge Karen E. Scott, 1 . IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: 1. The Petition is granted. 2. Respondents shall immediately release Sergio Salazar-Sorto (A# 094-946-631) from custody. 3. If Respondents have not released Petitioner within three (3) days of the date of this order, Petitioner may file a request for an order to show cause re contempt. 4. Within fourteen (14) days of this order, Petitioner shall file a supplemental brief addressing whether Petitioner is also entitled to prospective injunctive relief preventing his re-detention without a pre-deprivation hearing as a matter of due process, given that he is a former DACA recipient who has lived in the U.S. for many years. See generally Anderson v. Chernut, No. 26-cv-01960-DAD-CKD, 2026 WL 809990, at *2, 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 62410, at *4 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 24, 2026) (reasoning that "the government's knowing decision not to detain an individual creates a liberty interest in their continued release"); Hernandez v. Warden, Golden State Annex Det. Facility, No. 26-cv-3727, 2026 WL 1759597, at *2-3, 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 136216, at *3-6 (E.D. Cal. June 18, 2026) (finding that district courts have "'overwhelmingly found' that a noncitizen with active deferred action status [under DACA] has a protected liberty interest under the Due Process Clause" and that the expiration of petitioner DACA status does not eliminate his vested protected liberty interest" where the government has not "terminated" his status), R&R adopted in part, rejected in part, 2026 WL 2099232 (E.D. Cal. July 21, 2026). If Petitioner argues that he is entitled to this relief, the Court will give Respondents an opportunity to respond.
