MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 1/21/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ), the Court construes the petition as also a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order based on Petitioner's requested relief. The issues raised therein appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Singh v. Andrews, No. 1:25-cv-01543-DJC-SCR; Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD. On or before January 26, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinct from the Court's prior orders in the cases listed above and would justify denial of a preliminary injunction. Respondents should also state whether they oppose this Court converting the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to a Motion for Preliminary Injunction. The matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order together with a copy of Petitioner's 1 Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on the United States Attorney.
