Official statutory text
§ 7007. Warrant preceding or accompanying writ. A court authorized to\nissue a writ of habeas corpus, upon satisfactory proof that a person is\nwrongfully detained and will be removed from the state or suffer\nirreparable injury before he can be relieved by habeas corpus, shall\nissue a warrant of attachment directed to an appropriate officer\nrequiring him immediately to bring the person detained before the court.\nA writ of habeas corpus directed to the person having custody of the\nperson detained shall also be issued. Where it appears that the\ndetention constitutes a criminal offense, the warrant may order the\napprehension of the person responsible for the detention, who shall then\nbe brought before the court issuing the warrant and examined as in a\ncriminal case.\n
