PASCUAL HILARIO PANKIM,

Petitioner,

v.

WILLIAM P. BARR, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 20-cv-02941-JSC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: 

IMMIGRATION HABEAS CASE

Petitioner, a detainee in immigration custody, filed a habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has paid the $5.00 filing fee. His petition sets forth two claims 

challenging the constitutionality of Petitioner’s detention: (1) violation of his Fifth Amendment 

due process rights based on the Government’s failure to establish that Petitioner is a danger or 

flight risk; (2) violation of his Fifth Amendment due process rights based on his continued 

detention during the COVID 19 pandemic. (Dkt. No. 1.) These claims, when liberally construed, 

are cognizable and potentially meritorious. Good cause appearing, Respondent is hereby ordered 

to show cause why the petition should not be granted. 

In order to expedite the resolution of this case, it is further ordered as follows: 

1. The Clerk shall serve Respondent and Respondent’s attorney, the Attorney General of 

the United States, with a copy of this order and the petition with all attachments.

2. Respondent shall file with the court and serve on petitioner, by May 11, 2020, an 

answer showing cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted based on the claims 

found cognizable herein. Respondent shall file with the answer and serve on Petitioner a copy of 

all portions of the administrative record that have been transcribed previously and that are relevant 

to a determination of the issues presented by the petition. If Petitioner wishes to respond to the 

answer, he shall do so by filing a traverse with the court and serving it on Respondent by May 13,
