Text Only Entry by Magistrate Michael B. Kaufman: In their Opposition, Respondents state that "Petitioner appears to be entitled to request and receive an initial bond hearing pursuant to Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, --- F.4th ---, 2026 WL 2196424 (9th Cir. 2026)." Dkt. 8 at 2. However, in his reply brief, Petitioner indicates that he was scheduled for a bond hearing on September 1, 2026, but the Immigration Judge ("IJ") found no jurisdiction. Dkt. 9-2. Respondents are therefore ORDERED to file a supplemental brief on or before September 4, 2026, to address the apparent inconsistency between their position that Petitioner is eligible for a bond hearing and the IJ's decision. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (jm) TEXT ONLY ENTRY (Entered: 09/03/2026)
