MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim on 1/16/2026: On January 12, 2026, counsel for petitioner submitted a fact declaration bearing petitioner's typewritten signature and accompanied by a separate declaration signed by Tin Thanh Nguyen, an attorney in North Carolina, who claims he represents petitioner before the Enforcement Removal Operations of Immigration Customs Enforcement, and declares he "signed Mr. Nguyen's declaration on his behalf with his express consent, after reviewing it with him." (ECF No. 13-1 at 5.) Tin Thanh Nguyen is not counsel of record in this case. Moreover, because the declaration attests to facts solely within petitioner's knowledge, not counsel's, the declaration must be personally signed by petitioner. Accordingly, petitioner is granted seven (7) days to submit his declaration bearing his own signature. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk AW) (Entered: 01/16/2026)
