CR ACTION NO. 2:26-CR-00074
JOSE GUTIERREZ-MANRIQUEZ
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL
A detention hearing has been held in accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18
U.S.C. § 3142(f). Detention of the defendant pending trial in this case is necessary because
there is a serious risk that the defendant will not appear.
The evidence against the defendant meets the probable cause standard. The
defendant is a citizen of Mexico with no status to remain in or enter the United States. He
is charged with illegally re-entering the United States after having been deported. There is
no evidence he would be eligible to remain in the United States if released on bond. Further,
the defendant is currently on felony probation. The most basic condition of probation is
not to commit new law violations. Because the evidence meets the probable cause standard
in the instant case, the defendant has shown he is either incapable or unwilling to comply
with conditions of release. The Defendant is ORDERED detained pending trial.
The defendant is committed to the custody of the United States Marshal or his
designated representative for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent
practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending
appeal. The defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation

with defense counsel. On order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney
