MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 9/25/2026.The Court has reviewed the First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (the "Petition") (ECF No. 8 ), as well as Respondents' Notice Regarding Class Membership (ECF No. 4 ). As an initial matter, the Court finds good cause to grant Petitioner, an immigration detainee, leave to proceed in forma pauperis. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Petitioner's 9 Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. Next, the Court preliminarily finds that Petitioner may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and Jacobo-Ramirez v. Mullin, 834 F. Supp. 3d 1073 (D. Nev. 2026).Therefore, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE for Petitioner's detention. See 28 U.S.C.§ 2243. Specifically, Respondents must file a "return certifying the true cause of detention" on or before September 30, 2026. Amongst other things, Respondents' return must: (a.) indicate whether Petitioner is, or is not, a member of the Jacobo-Ramirez Class; (b.) identify a specific statutory authority that authorizes Petitioners detention; and (c.) attach any, and all, records that Respondents rely on to justify Petitioner's detention.As the Court's Order directing a response is clear, a failure by Respondents to properly respond to the Order and/or identify a specific authority that authorizes Petitioners detention will be deemed an intentional waiver of any argument as to a lawful basis for detention and may also be considered a violation of the Court's Order. Such a waiver or failure to respond to the Court's Order may result in appropriate remedial action by the Court including granting of the writ forthwith, the striking of filings, and/or sanctions imposed on the parties or counsel. See 28 U.S.C.§ 2243.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Petitioner has up to, and including, October 7, 2026, to reply.Finally, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Court's prior orders regarding briefing, document production, transfer, etc. remain in full effect. See generally Service Order, ECF No. 3 .(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JT) (Entered: 09/25/2026)
