EMERGENCY ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE HEARING. According to paragraph 8 of the Petition, Petitioner is currently being detained in Central Islip.

The hearing will be held in Courtroom 940 of the Alfonse D'Amato United States Courthouse, 100 Federal Plaza, Central Islip, New York, 11722. Petitioner shall be produced in Court at that time. Counsel is to be present. The Government shall file a letter on the docket, as soon as possible, alerting the Court of the Petitioner's location.If the Petitioner is no longer being detained in Central Islip, the parties shall appear on February 6, 2026 at 11 AM and Petitioner shall be produced then.To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling in this matter, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise. See, e.g., Loc. 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n, AFL-CIO v. New York Shipping Ass'n, Inc., 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992) ("Once the district court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter of, and the parties to, the litigation, the All Writs Act [28 U.S.C. § 1651] authorizes a federal court to protect that jurisdiction"). Additionally, in light of Petitioner's interests in participating in further proceedings before this Court and in maintaining adequate access to legal counsel through these proceedings, it is further ORDERED that Petitioner shall not be transferred except to a facility within this District, the Southern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See Ozturk v. Trump, No. 25-cv-374, 2025 WL 1145250, at *15 (D. Vt. Apr. 18, 2025) (ordering petitioner's transfer from Louisiana to Vermont due, in part, to her pending habeas petition), stay and mandamus denied, Ozturk v. Hyde, 136 F.4th 382, 403 (2d Cir. 2025); Westley v. Harper, No. 25-cv-229, ECF No. 7 (E.D. La. Feb. 2, 2025) (restraining respondents "from (a) attempting to remove petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana to any location outside [the] district, and (b) removing petitioner from the United States"); Sillah v. Barr, No. 19-cv-1747, ECF No. 6 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 25, 2019) (enjoining respondents from transferring defendant outside of the New York City area while defendant's habeas petition was pending); Campbell v.
