MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 1/20/2026: The Court has reviewed petitioner's 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for temporary restraining order. The Court has addressed the legal issues raised by the 2 motion for temporary restraining order on previous occasions. See e.g., Crispin M.C. v. Noem, No. 1:25-CV-01487-KES-HBK (HC), 2026 WL 70553 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 8, 2026); J.A.C.P. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01354-KES-SKO (HC), 2025 WL 3013328 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 27, 2025). On or before January 23, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders in Crispin M.C. v. Noem and J.A.C.P. v. Wofford and justify denying the motion, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. The response shall provide the Court with copies of all referenced/relevant portions of petitioner's A-File, in addition to all of the following documents if they were provided to petitioner: (1) Form I-862, Notice to Appear; (2) Form I-220A, Order of Release on Recognizance; (3) Form I-286, Notice of Custody Determination; (4) any document authorizing parole; (5) any bond order by an immigration judge; (6) any order of removal; and (7) any order granting withholding of removal. By January 20, 2026, to the extent not already accomplished, petitioner's counsel is directed: (1) to serve respondents with a copy of the petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, the accompanying papers, and a copy of this Order, by e-mail to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, with a copy to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov, and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").
