Opinion

RIDWAN ABDILAHI ABDI, Case No. 26-cv-01430-BAS-JLB

Petitioner, ORDER: v. (1) REQUIRING THE KRISTI NOEM, et al., GOVERNMENT TO RESPOND Respondents. TO PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS (ECF No. 1); AND (2) SETTING HEARING ON PETITION Petitioner Ridwan Abdilahi Abdi filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1.) In his Petition, Petitioner claims that he is being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) in violation of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.) Having reviewed the Petition, the Court finds summary dismissal is unwarranted at this time. See Kourteva v. INS, 151 F. Supp. 2d 1126, 1128 (N.D. Cal. 2001) (“Summary dismissal is appropriate only where the allegations in the petition are vague or conclusory, palpably incredible, or patently frivolous or false.”). Therefore, the Court will order the Government to respond to the Petition and set a hearing. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows: 1. The Government must file a response to the Petition no later than March 13, 2026. The Government’s response must address the allegations in the Petition and must include any documents relevant to the determination of the issues raised in the Petition. 2. Petitioner may file a reply in support of his Petition no later than March 20, 2026. 3. The parties must appear in Courtroom 12B on March 27, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. for a hearing on the Petition. } DATED: March 6, 2026 ii ly A (Dipharb Hon.
