MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 10/2/2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"). (ECF No. 5 .) The matter is fully briefed. (ECF Nos. 7, 8, 10 .) Upon review of the parties' argument and supporting documents, the Court finds Petitioner has met his burden establishing a TRO is warranted under the factors articulated in Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). Petitioner has established: (1) a likelihood of success on his claims that his detention violates the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause and Immigration and Nationality Act; (2) Petitioner will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a TRO; (3) the balance of equities tip in Petitioner's favor; and (4) a TRO is in the public interest. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is GRANTED. Although the relief Petitioner originally sought was immediate release, in his reply, Petitioner now only seeks an individualized bond hearing. Accordingly, Respondents must provide Petitioner Jobanpreet S. (A# 241-137-471) a bond hearing within five (5) days of this Order (unless Petitioner requests additional time to prepare) where Respondents bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence before a neutral decisionmaker that Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk. The decisionmaker must consider Petitioner's financial circumstances for bond and alternative conditions of release. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 991 (9th Cir. 2017). At the hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. If Petitioner is not found to be a danger to society or flight risk, Respondents must immediately release Petitioner. Respondents may impose any restrictions or conditions of release determined to be necessary by the neutral decisionmaker at the hearing. Respondents must file a notice of compliance with this Order within two (2) court days from the date of the bond hearing, confirming that the hearing occurred, the date of the hearing, the outcome of the hearing, and Petitioner's custody status. The bond requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) is waived. Further, the Court understands Respondents' opposition to the motion for TRO to constitute Respondents' response to the Petition for Writ of Habas Corpus (the "Petition"). If Respondents desire to submit any further briefing on the Petition, Respondents shall do so by October 9, 2026. Petitioner shall file a response to any further briefing from Respondents by October 16, 2026. IT IS SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk RAA) (Entered: 10/02/2026)
