Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 5:00 PM on 12/18/2025.

MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 12/18/2025: In Respondents 7 Opposition to Petitioners 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, Respondents do not identify any provision of law or fact in this case that would substantively distinguish it from this courts decision in Labrador-Prato v. Noem, et al., 1:25-cv-01598-DC-SCR, 2025 WL 3458802 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025). Indeed, Respondents concede that this case is not substantively distinguishable. (See Doc. No. 7 at 2.) Accordingly, pursuant to the courts reasoning in Labrador-Prato, Petitioners 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED, and the court ORDERS the following: (1) Petitioner Jashanpreet Singh shall be released immediately from the Respondents custody; (2) Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing; and (3) If the Government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 days notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and its implementing regulations, at which Petitioners eligibility for bond must be considered. Further, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by no later than 12/22/2025, as to why this court should not issue a Preliminary Injunction on the same terms as this Order. Petitioner may file a response thereto by no later than 12/23/2025. Respondents may file a reply to Petitioners response by no later than 12/24/2025. If the parties agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties proposal. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 12/18/2025)

MINUTE ORDER issued on 12/18/2025 by the Courtroom Deputy C. Schultz for District Judge Dena M. Coggins: On 12/18/2025, the court issued an 8 Order granting Petitioners 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and requiring Respondents to show cause why the court should not issue a Preliminary Injunction on the same terms as the Temporary Restraining Order. On 12/18/2025, Respondents filed a 9 Response to the Order to Show Cause, indicating they have nothing further to add to the arguments raised in their Opposition to the Temporary Restraining Order. The standard for issuing a Temporary Restraining Order is substantially identical to the standard for issuing a Preliminary Injunction. Stuhlbarg Intl Sales Co. v. John D. Brush & Co., 240 F.3d 832, 839 n.7 (9th Cir. 2001). Therefore, for the same reasons as those stated in the 8 Order granting a Temporary Restraining Order, the court FINDS Petitioner has sufficiently shown that all four Winter factors weigh in favor of granting injunctive relief. Accordingly, the court hereby ISSUES a Preliminary Injunction on the same terms as the 8 Temporary Restraining Order and REFERS this matter to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
