Text Order DENYING 12 Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order entered by Judge Xavier Rodriguez. "An injunctive order is an extraordinary writ, enforceable by the power of contempt." Gunn v. Univ. Comm. to End War, 399 U.S. 383, 389 (1970). The movant must demonstrate substantial success of likelihood on the merits. Valley v. Rapides Parish School Bd., 118 F.3d 1047, 1051 (5th Cir. 1997). Petitioner here does not contest that he has an order of removal, and he has not established that he filed a timely appeal of that order with the Board of Immigration Appeals. He has not clearly established that the Court has jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. § 1952(g) ("[N]o court shall have jurisdiction to hear any cause or claim... arising from the decision or action by the Attorney General to... execute removal orders against any alien....").
