UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
GE Y.,
Petitioner,
v.
KRISTI NOEM, Secretary, Department
of Homeland Security; TODD M.
LYONS, Acting Director, Immigration
and Customs Enforcement; and DAVID
EASTERWOOD, Acting Director, St.
Paul Field Office Immigration and
Customs Enforcement;
Respondents.
No. 26-cv-1700 (KMM/LIB)
ORDER
In a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) dated March 17, 2026, United States
Magistrate Leo I. Brisbois recommended that Petitioner Ge Y’s Petition for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus be granted. (R&R, Dkt. 9.) Because Mr. Y’s liberty interests are implicated
in this case, Judge Brisbois shortened the usual 14-day period for filing objections to the
R&R. (Id. at 14–15.) Respondents did not object to the R&R within the time provided, nor
in the additional days that have since followed. Therefore, the Court has reviewed the
matter for clear error. Nur v. Olmsted County, 563 F. Supp. 3d 946, 949 (D. Minn. 2021)
(citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) and Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per
curiam)). The Court finds no error and adopts the R&R.
