Disposition notice
On October 26, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California granted Ferdando Anguiano Garcia’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and ordered that the January 9, 2026 preliminary injunction be converted into a permanent injunction implementing the writ, which remains in effect. The petition alleged a Fifth Amendment due process violation and a violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). The court relied on the reasons stated in its earlier preliminary-injunction order and cited prior decisions; the injunction barred re-detention unless respondents showed by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral decisionmaker that custody was justified by flight risk or danger to the community. The order was signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Guy Castillo.
