(ORIGINAL ORDER FILED IN CASE 1:26-CV-1180 DOC# 6) - ORDER: Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows: 1. By February 17, 2026, Respondents shall file a letter with the following information: a. The statutory provision(s) under which Respondents assert the authority to detain Petitioners; as further set forth herein. 2. By February 17, 2026, Respondents shall also confirm that Petitioners remain detained within this District, the Eastern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey, in compliance with this Court's prior administrative stay order. See ECF No. 3. 3. By February 19, 2026, Respondents shall file an answer to the Petition. Additionally, the Court severs Petitioner Alejandro Vera Angel and his claims from this action.See Fed. R. Civ. P. 21. Upon review of the Petition, ECF No. 1, the Court finds that Vera Angel isimproperly joined as a Petitioner, because Vera Angel's claims do not "aris[e] out of the sametransaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences" as Tzy Tautiu. Fed. R. Civ. P.20(a)(1)(A). Although the facts surrounding the Petitioners' detentions may be similar, see Pet. Para. 16,the detentions themselves are separate occurrences. The Petition alleges that the detentions occurredat similar times and around the same location, but does not allege that the detentions are part of thesame "series" of transactions or occurrences. See id. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to: (1) open a new civil action for Petitioner Alejandro Vera Angel and his severed claims against all Respondents named in this action; and (2) file copies of the Petition, ECF No. 1., civil cover sheet, ECF No. 2., administrative stay, ECF No. 3, and this order in the new action. The Court shall thereafter direct Petitioner Vera Angel to pay the filing fee in the new action. The Clerk of Court shall electronically notify the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York of this Order. SO ORDERED. Kristi Noem answer due 2/19/2026; Kenneth Genalo answer due 2/19/2026; Pam Bondi answer due 2/19/2026., Alejandro Vera Angel terminated.
