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 September 2025 (Doc. 1 at 14), about 5 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 17, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 02/17/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed Respondents' recently filed motion for relief from judgement pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5) (Doc. 12.) Petitioner Gurjit Singh initiated a separate, substantially identical action that was opened as Case No. 1:26-cv-00206-DC-AC. In Case No. 1:26-cv-00206-DC-AC, U.S. District Judge Dena Coggins ordered Petitioner's immediate release as a form of preliminary injunctive relief on January 12, 2026, approximately three months before the undersigned entered judgment in this matter (Case No. 1:26-cv-01322-JLT-CDB). Because Judge Coggins exercised jurisdiction over Petitioner's custody first, the instant case is duplicative. Thus, the Clerk of Court is directed to VACATE the Court's April 29, 2026 judgment in Case No. 1:26-cv-01322-JLT-CDB, GRANT Petitioner's motion for relief from judgement (Doc. 12), and DISMISS this action as duplicative and close this case signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on May 11, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 05/11/2026)
