ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE HEARING SET FOR 1/21/26 AT 12 PM. Show Cause Response due by close of business 1/20/2026. Respondents are ORDERED to show cause why the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus should not be granted by 1/20/2026. Petitioner's Reply, if any, shall be filed by 1/21/2026 by 10:00 a.m. The parties are ORDERED TO appear before this Court for a hearing on the petition on January 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM. The hearing will be held in Courtroom 940 of the Alfonse D'Amato United States Courthouse, 100 Federal Plaza, Central Islip, New York, 11722. Petitioner shall be produced in Court at that time. To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling in this matter, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise. See, e.g., Loc. 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n, AFL-CIO v. New York Shipping Ass'n, Inc., 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992) ("Once the district court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter of, and the parties to, the litigation, the All Writs Act [28 U.S.C. § 1651] authorizes a federal court to protect that jurisdiction"). Additionally, in light of Petitioner's interests in participating in further proceedings before this Court and in maintaining adequate access to legal counsel through these proceedings, it is further ORDERED that Petitioner shall not be transferred except to a facility within this District, the Southern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See Ozturk v. Trump, No. 25-cv-374, 2025 WL 1145250, at *15 (D. Vt. Apr. 18, 2025) (ordering petitioner's transfer from Louisiana to Vermont due, in part, to her pending habeas petition), stay and mandamus denied, Ozturk v. Hyde, 136 F.4th 382, 403 (2d Cir. 2025); Westley v. Harper, No. 25-cv-229, ECF No. 7 (E.D. La. Feb. 2, 2025) (restraining respondents "from (a) attempting to remove petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana to any location outside [the] district, and (b) removing petitioner from the United States"); Sillah v. Barr, No. 19-cv-1747, ECF No. 6 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 25, 2019) (enjoining respondents from transferring defendant outside of the New York City area while defendant's habeas petition was pending); Campbell v. U.S. Immigr. & Customs Enf't, No. 20-cv-22999, ECF No. 13 (S.D. Fl. July 26, 2020) (granting a stay of petitioner's transfer and prohibiting respondent "from transferring Petitioner to another detention facility during the pendency of the stay"); 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (empowering courts to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages and principles of law"). The purpose of this hearing will be to determine whether petitioner should be released on bail consistent with the principles set forth in this Court's order in Clarke v. U.S. Dept of Homeland Security, 25-CV-6773(GRB) (December 18, 2025). Counsel for Petitioner shall be prepared to discuss a bail package, including a proposed suretor(s), who shall attend in person. Any information bearing on a bail or detention determination would be helpful to the Court. Petitioner's counsel shall arrange for the presence of an interpreter, if applicable. The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order electronically upon the Chiefs of the Civil Division and the Long Island Civil Division of the United States Attorney's Office forthwith. An attorney of the United States Attorney's Office should be appointed forthwith to ensure compliance with the Court's orders contained herein. Ordered by Judge Gary R. Brown on 1/16/2026. (ML)
