MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the motion for preliminary injunction. Petitioner has raised serious questions as to the lawfulness of his continued detention. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than February 20, 2026, why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a preliminary injunction. Any response SHALL provide the Court with copies of all referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents. (These documents need not be redacted given that they will be filed under Restricted status.) Petitioner may file a reply no later than March 6, 2026. To the extent that this has not already occurred, by the close of business on February 2, 2026, Petitioner SHALL provide the US Attorney Petitioner's full name and A-File number. In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the 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 Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on January 30, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 01/30/2026)
