ORDER. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:1. Respondents are directed to produce a judicial warrant justifying entry into Petitioners home and their arrest and detention by no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 19, 2026. If no such warrant is provided, the Court will order each Petitioners immediate release. 2. If such warrant is timely provided, Respondents are further directed to file an answer to the Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus no later than 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 21, 2025, certifying the true cause and proper duration of each Petitioners confinement and showing cause why the writ should not be granted in this case. 3. Respondents are ENJOINED from removing, transferring, or otherwise facilitating the removal of Petitioners from the District of Minnesota until further order of the Court, so that Petitioners may consult with counsel while the Court is considering the petition, and so that there is no risk that removal of Petitioners from Minnesota will deprive this Court of jurisdiction over the petition. If Petitioners have already been removed from Minnesota, Respondents are ORDERED to immediately return Petitioners to Minnesota.4. Respondents may request permission from the Court to move Petitioners if unforeseen or emergency circumstances arise which require Petitioners to be removed from the District. Any such request must include an explanation for the request as well as a proposed destination. The Court will then determine whether to grant the request and permit transfer of Petitioners.5. Aside from the Petitioner who is a minor, Petitioners have not provided basis for the names of the remaining five Petitioners to have been obscured. Accordingly, by no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 19, counsel for Petitioners must either submit an amended habeas petition naming the five adult Petitioners or, alternatively, a reasoned memorandum explaining why the names of the five Petitioners have not been listed on the habeas petition.6. By no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 19, counsel for Petitioners must submit a reasoned memorandum of law explaining why proceeding through a next friend is necessary in this action, or submit an amended habeas petition omitting reference to the next friend.7. Joint petitions of the kind filed in this matter are disfavored, as the same legal considerations may not necessarily apply to each named Petitioner to a habeas corpus action. The Court will permit use of this device within this proceeding which, by necessity, must be conducted with expediency. Nevertheless, counsel is asked to refrain from jointly filing if additional petitions are warranted.See order for more detail. Signed by Judge John R. Tunheim on 1/19/2026.
