ORDER: The Court, having examined the petition in this action, Dkt. 1, which petitioner filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, hereby ORDERS that: The Clerk of Court shall electronically notify the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York that this Order has issued, including at the following email address: jeffrey.oestericher@usdoj.gov. By Thursday, January 29, 2026, the U.S. Attorney's Office shall file an answer or other pleadings in response to the petition.

Apr. 24, 2025) (enjoining defendants from "removing any Plaintiffs or putative class members from the District of Connecticut, and from deporting them from the United States" because "a federal court may temporarily enjoin immigration authorities from deporting individuals if it preserves the court's jurisdiction over a case or cases"); Ozturk v. Hyde, No. 25 Civ. 10695, 2025 WL 1009445, at *11 (D. Mass.

Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 1935, 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) ("To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise."); see also Local 1814, Intern. Longshoremen's Ass'n, AFL-CIO v. New York Shipping Ass'n, 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." (cleaned up)); Garcia- Izquierdo v. Gartner, No. 4 Civ. 7377, 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y.
