ORDER denying 5 Mr. Singhs motion for temporary restraining order. First, the motion is in the nature of more affirmative relief (i.e., not preserving the status quo), and so should be a preliminary injunction motion. Second, even then, the motion 5 does not identify how this Court has jurisdiction to consider what appears to be a question related to pending immigration proceedings. See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1252, which provides judicial review of final orders of removal; Abdulrahman v. Ashcroft, 330 F.3d 587, 591 (3d Cir. 2003) ("A decision by the Board that an applicant is ineligible for asylum constitutes a final order of removal that may be subject to judicial review under Section 1252(a)(1)"); Khalil v. President, United States, 164 F.4th 259, 273 (3d Cir. 2026) (8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9) strips the District Court of jurisdiction, requiring Khalil to wait to raise his claims until he files a petition for review (PFR) of a final order of removal.) Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 2/4/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.

ORDER. For the reasons stated in Villagrez v. Bondi, et al., No. 26-72, 2026 WL 545380 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 26, 2026) (Ranjan, J.), the Court GRANTS the 1 habeas petition and ISSUES the writ, on these terms. (1) Respondents shall cause Petitioner to be taken to a neutral immigration judge of the Executive Office of Immigration Review for an individualized bond hearing to occur within 30 days of this order, or else release Petitioner by such date. (2) Respondents shall ensure that such a hearing include the required due process, i.e., at a minimum, factfinding based on a record produced before the decisionmaker and disclosed to Petitioner; an opportunity to make arguments on the Petitioner's behalf; and the right to an individualized determination of Petitioner's interests. See Ghanem v. Warden Essex Cnty. Corr. Facility, No. 21-1908, 2022 WL 574624, at *2 (3d Cir. Feb. 25, 2022). (3) Petitioner shall be responsible for securing the necessary transcripts and record of the bond hearing. The Court further finds that Respondents' position was substantially justified in this case, so no fees shall be awarded. The Clerk of Court shall administratively CLOSE this case. Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 3/5/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (pak) (Entered: 03/05/2026)
