MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 2/18/2026: The court has reviewed Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by Count One through Three of the Petition. See, e.g., Hoac v. Becerra, No. 2:25-cv-01740-DC-JDP, 2025 WL 1993771 (E.D. Cal. July 16, 2025), Vuong v. Becerra, 1:25-cv-01847-DC-CSK, 2025 WL 3707172 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 22, 2025), and El-Ghazaly v. Chestnut, 1:25-cv-01621-DC-CKD, 2025 WL 3485030 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 4, 2025). The court is contemplating ruling directly on the 1 Petition, with the understanding that the court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); See also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); A.R. v. Chestnut, No. 1:26-cv-00551-KES-SAB, 2026 WL 227112, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 28, 2026) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file an Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to the 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM on 2/20/2026. In their response, Respondents shall substantively address whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that materially distinguish it from the court's prior Orders listed above. Petitioner may file a Reply by 12:00 PM on 2/23/2026. Both parties should address whether they oppose the court ruling directly on the Petition, albeit as to Counts One through Three only, to the extent a ruling on that Count entitles Petitioner to the relief sought in the Petition. If Petitioner has not already served a copy of the Petition and Motion by email to the U.S. Attorney's Office at their email address (usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov), Petitioner's Counsel shall do so by no later than 12:00 PM on 2/19/2026. The matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRS) (Entered: 02/18/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by the Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dena M. Coggins on 2/25/2026: Pending the issuance of the court's Order resolving the pending 2 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. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) ("The Supreme Court and all courts established by Act of Congress may issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages and principles of law."); A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 605 U.S. 91, 97 (2025) (issuing order temporarily enjoining applicants' imminent removal pursuant to Section 1651 because the Court "had the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to the applicants and to preserve [the Court's] jurisdiction over the matter."). 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 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order.
