MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2). Petitioner asserts she is being subjected to detention without a substantive bond bearing. The facts presented indicate she was detained on October 8, 2025, about 90 days ago. The motion provides no explanation as to why this matter could not have been brought during that interval such that the matter should be treated as an emergency motion. Thus, the Court the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Even still, the Court finds that Petitioner raises a serious question as to the process she is due. Thus, the Court converts the motion to one seeking a permanent injunction and refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge to address as quickly as possible. No later than January 12, 2026, to the extent this has not yet occurred, Petitioner SHALL give notice of this action to the U.S. Attorney's Office for this district signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on January 6, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 01/06/2026)
