MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 08/31/2026. Petitioner, Raudel Palmero Gonzalez (A# 209-006-668), through counsel, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The petition is also accompanied by a notice of appearance for attorney Greg Chonillo and a certificate of good standing from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. ECF. Nos. 1-3, 1-4. If attorney Chonillo seeks to appear in this matter pro hac vice, he is directed to submit an application for admission to practice pro hac vice, as required by Local Rule 180(b)(2). The petition asserts petitioner's detention violates the Immigration and Nationality Act and that that petitioner's detention without a bond hearing violates the Due Process Clause. ECF No. 1. The Ninth Circuit recently held that "[noncitizens] present without admission who are apprehended in the interior of the United States are subject to detention regime of § 1226, not § 1225(b)(2)(A)." Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, No 25-6842, ___ F.4th ____, 2026 WL 2196424, at *3, 7 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). This court has also previously addressed petitioner's due process claims in Brayan C.C. v. Warden of California City Corr. Ctr., No. 2:26-cv-0641 TLN JDP, 2026 WL 710358 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2026), Benitos A.P. v. Noem, No. 1:26-cv-2180 TLN JDP, 2026 WL 1786375 (E.D. Cal. June 22, 2026), and Juan R.R. v. Warden of the Golden State Annex, No. 1:26-cv-4754 TLN SCR, 2026 WL 2137745 (E.D. Cal. July 24, 2026). Respondents are therefore directed to file a response within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish this case from Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock or the court's prior orders in Brayan C.C., Benitos A.P., Juan R.R. and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, and if respondents dispute any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondents' response. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 08/31/2026)
