MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 9/2/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Noncitizens present without admission who are apprehended in the interior of the United States are subject discretionary detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, not mandatory detention under § 1225(b)(2)(A). See Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, No. 25-6842, 2026 WL 2196424, at *3 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). Further, this court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by the Petition. See e.g., Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 818 F. Supp. 3d 1141 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025); Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 815 F. Supp. 3d 1113 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025); D.L.C. v. Wofford, 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 9/4/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from Rodriguez Vazquez, Tinoco, Labrador-Prato, and D.L.C. Petitioner may file a Reply by 9/18/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk MCF) (Entered: 09/02/2026)

ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 9/4/2026 GRANTING Petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner Camilo Andres Mantilla Vasquez (A-245-870-853) shall be RELEASED IMMEDIATELY from Respondents' custody with the same conditions he was subject to immediately prior to his detention on 8/6/2026. Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless th at is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. Respondents shall RETURN all of Petitioner's documents and possessions upon his release from custody. Within 3 days of the date of entry of this order, Respondents are ORDERED to file a notice of compliance with this court confirming that the Petitioner has been released from custody. If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a p re-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondents may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes sub ject to an executable final order of removal and Petitioner receives notice of that final order of removal. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the California City Detention Facility, enter judgment for Petitioner, and close this case. CASE CLOSED.
