MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 9/8/2026: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ). On review the issues raised in the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. Specifically, it appears that Petitioner was detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) without being afforded a bond hearing as required. See Morillo v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01533-DJC-AC; see also E.L.D.M. v Becerra, No. 1:25-cv-01906-DJC-JDP. Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before September 14, 2026, as to why the Court should not grant a writ of habeas corpus and order Petitioner's release on this same basis by filing a return as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Petitioner may file a reply on or before September 16, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary.

ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 09/18/26 GRANTED 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus for the reasons stated in those prior orders. Respondents are ORDERED to immediately release Petitioner Kartik Nawel from their custody. Respondents shall not impose any additional restrictions on Petitioner, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation/custody hearing. 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 section 1226(a) and its implementing regulations, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered. This Order does not address t he circumstances in which Respondents may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal. The Clerk is directed to serve the Golden State Annex with a copy of this Order and enter judgment for Petitioner. (cc Golden State Annex) CASE CLOSED. (Deputy Clerk KML)
