ORDER DENYING 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and for Order to Show Cause. In the 2 Motion, Petitioner seeks, inter alia, his immediate release from custody. Given that Petitioner is requesting affirmative relief rather than maintenance of the status quo, Petitioner's request goes beyond the limited, temporary nature of a TRO and requires giving Respondents notice and an opportunity to be heard. See Hope v. Warden York County Prison, 956 F.3d 156, 162 (3d Cir. 2020). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request for a TRO is DENIED. Petitioner also requests, in the event this Court denies his Motion for a TRO, for an order directing Respondents to show cause why the 1 Petition should not be granted. See ECF No. 2 at 6. Pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 and Section 2255 Proceedings (the "Habeas Rules"), applicable to § 2241 cases through Rule 1(b) of the Habeas Rules, district courts have discretion in setting the time limits for ordering an answer to a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court will issue a case management order regarding service of the 1 Petition, and the deadline by which Respondents must respond to the 1 Petition. Accordingly, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner's request for an order to show cause is DENIED. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 2/13/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue.

ORDER Granting 7 Motion for Leave to File Documents under Seal filed by Respondents. According to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, "the common law presumes that the public has a right of access to judicial materials." In re Avandia, 924 F.3d 662, 672 (3d Cir. 2019). To overcome this presumptive right of access to judicial materials, "[t]he party seeking to overcome the presumption of access bears the burden of showing 'that the interest in secrecy outweighs the presumption.'" Id. (quoting Bank of Am. Nat'l Trust & Sav. Ass'n v. Hotel Rittenhouse Assocs., 800 F.2d 339, 344 (3d Cir. 1986)). That is, "[t]he movant must show 'that the material is the kind of information that courts will protect and that disclosure will work a clearly defined and serious injury to the party seeking closure.'" Id. (quoting Miller v. Ind. Hosp., 16 F.3d 549, 551 (3d Cir. 1994)). And, "[b]road allegations of harm, bereft of specific examples or articulated reasoning, are insufficient" to meet this burden. Id. at 673 (quoting In re Cendant Corp., 260 F.3d 183, 194 (3d Cir. 2001)). Here, Respondents seek leave to file their response to Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and all associated exhibits under seal. Respondents aver that sealing such documents is necessary because the response must address Petitioner's credible fear interview and related information that is statutorily protected under federal immigration regulations at 8 C.F.R. Section 1208.6. ECF No. 7 para. 2-4. Respondents further aver that only one of the exhibits they intend to file with the response lacks protected information, and Respondents therefore seek to file the response and all associated exhibits under seal, and ask that they not be required to file redacted versions of the documents. Id. para. 6-7. The Court finds that sealing is warranted here in order to prevent the disclosure of the statutorily protected information contained in the response and associated exhibits. Furthermore, the Court finds that judicial economy favors allowing Respondents to file the response and all associated exhibits under seal without also filing redacted versions of the underlying documents. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 7 Motion to Seal is GRANTED. Respondents may file their response to the 1 Petition and all associated exhibits under seal. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents are not required to file a redacted version of these documents on the docket, but are required to serve the sealed documents on Petitioner using traditional service methods. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 3/6/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
