MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) 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 ). Based on the current record, it appears Petitioner is likely to succeed on the due process claim and that some form of immediate relief may be appropriate. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than January 16, 2026 why the Court should not grant Petitioners motion for a temporary restraining order. Any response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioners A-File and other supporting documents, including available documentation related to any asserted violations of release conditions. In addition, Respondents SHALL address the following issues: (1) why this case is distinguishable from the numerous decisions issued by the undersigned granting injunctive relief in similar circumstances; and (2) why the facts suggest a change in circumstance material to the issue of whether Petitioner is a danger to public safety or a flight risk.See, e.g., Chavarria v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-CV-01755-DAD-AC, 2025 WL 3533606, at *4 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 9, 2025); Bernal v. Albarran, No. 25-CV-09772-RS, 2025 WL 3281422, at *6 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 25, 2025). Petitioner may file a reply no later than January 21, 2026. The Court further directs the parties to indicate on or before their respective filing deadlines (1) whether they are requesting a hearing; and (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing. Depending on the content of the filings, the Court may set a hearing or may rule on the papers.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on January 9, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 01/09/2026)
