MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on 8/29/2025: (Text Only Entry): The Court has reviewed the papers filed thus far in this matter, including the motion for a temporary restraining order. (Doc. 3 .) On this record, the Court preliminarily believes all six Petitioners likely can demonstrate that their circumstances warrant the same relief as this Court has ordered in numerous other cases, including Salazar v. Kaiser, No. 1:25-CV-01017-JLT-SAB, 2025 WL 2456232, at *10-11 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 26, 2025); Castellon v. Kaiser, No. 1:25-CV-00968 JLT EPG, 2025 WL 2373425, at *12 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 14, 2025); Maklad v. Murray, No. 1:25-CV-00946 JLT SAB, 2025 WL 2299376, at *10 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 8, 2025). Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than noon on September 3, 2025 why the Court should not grant Petitioners' motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioners may file a reply no later than 3:00 p.m. on September 3, 2025. The Parties are further ordered to appear for a hearing on the motion on Friday, September 5, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. on Zoom (details to be provided to the parties prior to the hearing) before the undersigned. The Court would be amenable to ruling on the papers if the parties indicate that they are willing to waive a hearing. If Respondents have no new arguments to offer that have not already been addressed by the Court, they may so indicate while reserving appellate rights. In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove any named Petitioner from the United States nor transfer any named 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"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioners have each satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief.No later than tomorrow, August 30, 2025, at noon, Petitioners' counsel is directed: (1) to serve respondents with a copy of the petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with 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 and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. (lbc) (Entered: 08/29/2025)
