UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Raciel Z.P.,
Plaintiff,
v.
Kristi Noem, et al.,
Defendants.
No. 26-cv-249 (KMM/SGE)
ORDER
In a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) dated February 13, 2026, United States
Magistrate Judge Shannon G. Elkins recommends that Petitioner Raciel Z.P.’s Petition for
a writ of habeas corpus be granted and Raciel Z.P. be released from custody subject to the
conditions in his prior order of supervision. (Dkt. 9.) Judge Elkins set an expediated
schedule for objections to the R&R, with objections due by February 17, 2026. (Id. at 12.)
Respondents did not object to this recommended disposition by the deadline, and still have
not done so ten days later. 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.
Based on the above, and on the full record before the Court, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED THAT:
1. 	The R&R (Dkt. 9) is ACCEPTED.

2. 	Petitioner Raciel Z.P.’s Petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. 1) is GRANTED.
3. 	The Court ORDERS Respondents to immediately release Raciel Z.P. in Minnesota,
subject only to the conditions in his prior order of release, no later than 5:00 PM
on March 1, 2026.
4. 	Further, the Court ORDERS Respondents file a notice on ECF by no later than
5:00 PM on March 2, 2026 certifying the date, time, and location of Raciel Z.P.’s
release. If Raciel Z.P. has not been released by that time, then Respondents shall
advise the Court about the reasons his release has not occurred, and the specific
steps Respondents are undertaking to ensure his immediate release in Minnesota.
5. 	Respondents must release Raciel Z.P. with all of his personal property and
documents. That property may not be altered by Respondents and must be returned
in the same condition as when it was taken.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
