MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 9/17/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Noncitizens present without admission who are apprehended in the interior of the United States are subject to discretionary detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, not mandatory detention under § 1225(b)(2)(A). See Rodriguez Vazquez v. Bostock, 183 F.4th 1160, 1165 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). Further, this court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count Three of the Petition. See e.g., Selis Tinoco v. Noem, 818 F. Supp. 3d 1141 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 14, 2025); Labrador-Prato v. Noem, 815 F. Supp. 3d 1113 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2025); D.L.C. v. Wofford, 1:25-cv-01996-DC-JDP, 2026 WL 25511 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2026). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 9/21/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from Rodriguez Vazquez, Tinoco, Labrador-Prato, and D.L.C. Petitioner may file a Reply by 10/5/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition, albeit as to Count Three only, to the extent a ruling on that Count entitles Petitioner to the relief sought in the Petition. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 09/17/2026)

ORDER signed by District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 09/21/26 GRANTING 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for TRO as follows: Petitioner Anahi Huato Rueda (A-203-743-502) is ORDERED to be RELEASED IMMEDIATELY from Respondents' custody with the same conditions she was subject to immediately prior to her detention in 07/26. 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; Respondents are DIRECTED to RETURN all of Petitioner's documents and possessions (e.g., identification, passport, work permit, Social Security card, etc.) upon her release from custody; Within 3 days from the date o f entry of this order, Respondents are ORDERED to FILE a notice of compliance with this court confirming that Petitioner has been released in accordance with the above; If the government seeks to re-detain Petitioner, it must provide no less than 7 d ays' notice to Petitioner and must hold a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter, at which Petitioner's eligibility for bond must be considered; and This order does not address the circumstances in which Respondents may detai n Petitioner in the event Petitioner becomes subject to an executable final order of removal and Petitioner receives notice of that final order of removal. The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order on the California City Detention Facility and enter judgment for petitioner. (cc Cal City) CASE CLOSED. (Deputy Clerk KML)
