MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 9/15/2026: Petitioner, an immigration detainee, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the court must examine the habeas corpus petition and order a response to the petition unless it "plainly appears" that the petitioner is not entitled to relief. It does not plainly appear that petitioner is not entitled to relief. Therefore, the court orders the government to respond to the petition and sets a briefing schedule. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Within seven days of this order's service, respondent must file an answer to the petition. The answer must address the merits of the petition and set forth the "true cause of the detention." See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Any argument by respondent that petitioner has procedurally defaulted a claim must be raised in the answer, which must also address the merits of petitioner's claims. Respondent shall attach any documents necessary for resolving the issues presented in the petition. Arguments that are not supported with relevant evidence will not be considered. 2. Petitioner may file a traverse to respondent's answer within seven days of the date of service of that answer. If no traverse is filed within seven days, the petition and answer are deemed submitted. 3. If respondent learns of petitioner's removal or any other change in petitioner's detention status, respondent shall submit a status report notifying the court as soon as practicably possible. 4. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 2, is GRANTED. (Text Only Entry). (Deputy Clerk NAC) (Entered: 09/15/2026)

FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 09/29/2026 RECOMMENDING that: The 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be granted; Respondent be ordered to immediately release Petitioner (A# 244-745-348) from its cust ody on the same conditions, if any, as his prior release. Respondent shall not impose any additional restrictions on Petitioner, unless that is determined to be necessary at a future pre-deprivation hearing. If the government seeks to re-detain Petit ioner, it must provide no less than 7 days' notice to Petitioner and must hold a constitutionally compliant pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter at which the government bears the burden of proving flight risk or danger by clear and convincing evidence. This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondent may detain Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal; and that the Clerk be directed to serve California City Detention Facility with a copy of this order and be ordered to enter judgment accordingly and close this case. Referred to Judge Troy L. Nunley. Objections due within 3 days after being served with these findings and recommendations. (Deputy Clerk KS)
