MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2). Petitioner asserts that he has been detained since October 30, 2025 (Doc. 2-1 at 2), more than 4 months ago. He does not explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b). The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 30 days. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 15 days after the respondents file their brief.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 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 relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on February 13, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 02/13/2026)

Feb 24, 2026

MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) On February 13, 2026, the Court denied Petitioner's request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2 ) because he had already been in detention for four months prior to the filing of the motion. (Doc. 5, citing Local Rule 231(b).) That same day, Petitioner filed a motion for reconsideration of that denial. (Doc. 6 .) Among other things, Petitioner argues that he should not be punished for exhausting administrative remedies before bringing this petition or for Counsel's workload. (Doc. 6 at 2 (indicating Petitioner requested a bond hearing "the moment it became available to him").) Counsel fails to appreciate that the challenged portion of the Court's order addresses only the question of whether Petitioner's detention status should be addressed on shortened time (i.e., as a procedural emergency). Eastern District of California Local Rule 231(b) permits the Court to consider "whether the applicant could have sought relief by motion for preliminary injunction at an earlier date without the necessity for seeking last-minute relief by motion for temporary restraining order." Nothing in the request for reconsideration causes the Court to question its prior determination that the issues raised here--no matter their merit--could have been brought earlier by way of a regularly scheduled motion. Nor is the fact that a state court trial is scheduled for March 13, 2026 in his 2024 misdemeanor case, as nothing precludes Petitioner from requesting a continuance of that matter. The procedural situation faced by Petitioner is common to the many others who have sought immigration-related habeas relief from this Court in recent months-at the rate of several dozen each week. Petitioner's request is, in effect, an attempt to jump the line ahead of similarly situated individuals. For all these reasons, the request for reconsideration is DENIED. Petitioner has also filed a request for a preliminary injunction. (Doc. 10 .) That motion is referred to the assigned magistrate judge who is free to take appropriate action to avoid duplication of effort signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on February 24, 2026.
