ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: Respondents are ENJOINED from removing, transferring, or otherwise facilitating the removal of Petitioner from the District of Minnesota until further order of the Court, so that Petitioner may consult with counsel while the Court is considering the petition, and so that there is no risk that removal of Petitioner from Minnesota will deprive this Court of jurisdiction over the petition. If Petitioner has already been removed from Minnesota, Respondents are ORDERED to immediately return Petitioner to Minnesota. Respondents may request permission from the Court to move Petitioner if unforeseen or emergency circumstances arise which require Petitioner to be removed from the District. Respondents are directed to file an answer to the petition for a writ of habeas corpus of petitioner Umar A. by no later than January 21, 2026, certifying the true cause and proper duration of Petitioners confinement and showing cause why the writ should not be granted in this case. Petitioner shall inform the Court by no later than 24 hours after Respondents answer of an intent to file a reply or if any further order by the Court should be filed under seal pending a request for redactions. If Petitioner intends to file a reply to Respondents answer, Petitioner must do so by no later than January 23, 2026. Thereafter, no further submissions from either party will be permitted, except as authorized by Court order. See order for more detail. Signed by Judge John R. Tunheim on 1/18/2026.
