Juan Antonio Maldinera Guzman was detained on March 17, 2026, after having been previously released on bond or conditional parole. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California found that the government violated his Fifth Amendment due process rights by re-detaining him without first providing a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral arbiter. The court determined that the Due Process Clause requires such a hearing to consider a noncitizen's eligibility for bond before re-detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) or § 1182(d)(5). Following prior precedent established in Selis Tinoco v. Noem, Labrador-Prato v. Noem, D.L.C. v. Wofford, and Altin v. Chestnut, the court granted Maldinera Guzman's petition for writ of habeas corpus and motion for temporary restraining order. He was ordered released immediately from the California City Detention Facility with the same conditions he was subject to prior to his March 17, 2026 detention. If the government seeks to re-detain him, it must provide seven days' notice and hold a constitutionally compliant pre-deprivation bond hearing.
