IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
Gustavo Castaneda Hernandez,
Petitioner,
v.
Kristi Noem, et al.,
Respondents.
No. CV-25-04786-PHX-KML (JFM)
ORDER
In responding to the order to show cause, respondents concede petitioner is a
member of the class certified in Bautista v. Santacruz, No. 5:25-CV-01873-SSS-BFM, ---
F. Supp. 3d ----, 2025 WL 3713987 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 2025). (Doc. 6 at 1.) Respondents
then argue petitioner “appears to be subject to the Bautista final judgment and to any
applicable appellate proceedings relating to it.” (Doc. 6 at 1-2.) The court construes
respondents’ filing as a concession that petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing.
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) is granted.
2. Within ten days of this order respondents must either release petitioner or provide a
bond hearing without regard to Matter of Yajure Hurtado.
