MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 02/26/2026: Pending the issuance of the court's order resolving the pending 6 motion for temporary restraining order, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondents shall not take any action to remove petitioner from the United States or to move petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (acknowledging the courts express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction). Given the exigent circumstances present, the court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending its forthcoming order resolving petitioner's pending 6 motion for temporary restraining order. Respondents shall file a written opposition to the pending 6 motion for temporary restraining order by 5:00 PM tomorrow, 2/27/2026. In that opposition, respondents shall substantively address whether any provision of law or fact in this case would distinguish it from the decisions in Perez v. Albarran, No. 1:25-cv-01540-DAD-CSK (HC), 2025 WL 3187578 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 14, 2025), A.A.M. v. Andrews, No. 1:25-cv-01514-DC-DMC (HC), 2025 WL 3485219 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 4, 2025), or D.V.D. v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec., No. 1:25-cv-10676-BEM, Doc. No. 241 (D. Mass. Feb. 25, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Furthermore, respondents are directed to indicate in their opposition whether they oppose converting the motion for temporary restraining order into a motion for preliminary injunction. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties' proposal. (Deputy Clerk JRM) (Entered: 02/26/2026)
