MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 1/31/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 7 ). The issues raised in Count 1 of the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Garcia Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD. The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 7 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). On or before February 4, 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 listed above and justify denying the petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. Petitioner may file a reply on or before February 5, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. Petitioner's counsel is DIRECTED to send a copy of the petition, the motion, and this order as well as provide the Petitioner's full name and A number to the US Attorney's Office by January 31, 2026, at 5:00 P.M., at their email usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Petitioner's Counsel shall file a such proof of service on the docket. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. [TEXT ONLY ORDER] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 01/31/2026)
