ORDER FOR SERVICE--Federal Respondents are ORDERED to file a response to the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and motion no later than January 21, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Because Petitioner invokes Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001) as a basis for finding detention unlawful, Respondents must consider the Courts prior orders addressing this question.1 And the response shall specifically and expressly note (1) any material factual differences between those cases and this one, (2) any new arguments sought to be raised by Respondents, and (3) whether Respondents rely on any new material change in the legal landscape to support their continued detention of Petitioner. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any possible or anticipated removal or transfer is IMMEDIATELY STAYED until further order from this Court. Respondents shall not transfer the above-named Petitioner outside of this judicial district during the pendency of this litigation and until further Order of this Court allowing removal or transfer.. Signed by Judge Jason K. Pulliam. (mgr) (Entered: 01/14/2026)
