MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 10/23/2026. Petitioner, Ericelia Mendoza Santos, an immigration detainee proceeding through counsel, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The petition asserts violations of petitioner's substantive and procedural due process rights based on the revocation of her release. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, respondents are directed to file a response within 7 days from the date of this order, which shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues that materially distinguish it from the court's prior orders in Ayala Cajina v. Wofford, No. 1:25-cv-1566 DAD AC (HC), 2025 WL 3251083 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 21, 2025), Zurita Navarro v. Warden, No. 1:26-cv-05661 DAD SCR, 2026 WL 2294963 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 9, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The court will construe failure to distinguish the above cited cases as a concession that the cases are not substantively distinguishable. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, and if respondents dispute any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondents' response. Respondents shall NOT TRANSFER petitioner outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (establishing the All Writs Act which empowers the federal courts to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions...."); see also F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (emphasizing that federal courts have the power to "to preserve the court's jurisdiction or maintain the status quo by injunction pending review of an agency's action"). This order does not prohibit the temporary transfer of petitioner outside of the district for urgent medical care, though petitioner shall be returned to the district upon the conclusion of such care. As soon as practicable, respondents shall notify the court of any such transfer. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JAA) (Entered: 10/23/2026)
