MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 12/23/2025: In Respondents 8 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 decisions in Labrador-Prato v. Noem, et al., 1:25-cv-01598-DC-SCR, 2025 WL 3458802 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025) and Selis Tinoco v. Noem, et al., 1:25-cv-01762-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 3567862 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025). Indeed, Respondents concede that this case is not substantively distinguishable. (See Doc. No. 8 at 2 n.1.) Accordingly, pursuant to the courts reasoning in Labrador-Prato and Selis Tinoco, Petitioners 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED, and the court ORDERS the following: (1) Petitioner Lady Alexandra Belalcazar Arcos shall be released immediately from the Respondents custody; (2) Respondents shall not impose any additional restriction on her, 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 12/29/2025, 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 12/30/2025. Respondents may file a reply to Petitioners response by no later than 12/31/2025. If the parties agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties proposal. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 12/23/2025)
