MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: The Court held an emergency telephone hearing with counsel for petitioner and representatives for the defendants (AUSAs Craig Oswald and Joshua Press) on the motion for a temporary restraining order 2 . The government represented that, to its knowledge, the Petitioner was still located within the Northern District of Illinois. Pursuant to the Court's authority to order Respondents to preserve the status quo to ensure fair and orderly consideration of this matter, and to rule on any contested issues including jurisdiction, it is hereby ORDERED that, unless otherwise directed by this Court, Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States, nor shall they transfer Petitioner to any judicial district outside the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana for the next 72 hours (which includes non-business hours) starting at 6:02 p.m. Central Standard Time on September 9, 2025. See United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) ("[T]he District Court had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief."); United States v. Shipp, 203 U.S. 563, 573 (1906) (When determining if the court has jurisdiction it has a "duty to permit argument, and to take the time required for such consideration as it might need."). The Court advised that this matter will be assigned to a district judge who will oversee the remainder of the case. The Court sets this matter for September 11, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. for a telephone hearing with the assigned district judge, with further details to come (and which may be reset by that judge upon assignment). Any of the time periods or deadlines herein may be shortened or extended as justice requires or as may otherwise be appropriate by further order of the Court.
