ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's Verified Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and Petitioner's Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 2 . In the Petition, Petitioner requests that the Court "[o]rder Respondents to immediately release Petitioner from federal detention at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora under the conditions of his February 18, 2024 "Order of Release on Own Recognizance" or "set a bond hearing consistent with 8 U.S.C. § 1226 within seven days." ECF No. 1 at 33. Petitioner's motion requests similar relief. See ECF No. 2 at 23 (requesting that the Court order either Petitioner's immediate release or require that Respondents provide him with a constitutionally adequate bond hearing). Also before the Court is Petitioner's Motion to Exceed Page Limit for Its Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 3, where he seeks an additional eight pages in support of his emergency motion given the "complex factual and legal issues of the highest importance" in this matter, id. at 2. Petitioner's motion for additional pages, ECF No. 3, is GRANTED. Additionally, having reviewed the Petition and motion, the Court ORDERS Petitioner to, no later than two calendar days from the entry of this Order, (1) serve Respondents with copies of the Petition, motion, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail and by overnight mail, and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. Within five (5) calendar days of service, Respondents are ORDERED TO RESPOND to the Petition and motion and are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v. Collins, No. 1:25-cv-00786-ADA-SH, 2025 WL 1954064, at *1 (W.D. Tex. July 7, 2025) (explaining that while § 2243 refers to a three day deadline, this requirement is "subordinate to the district court's authority to set deadlines" itself, and granting respondents a fourteen day deadline to respond in order to "give [r]espondents adequate time to brief the issues" (quotations omitted)). Further, pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order. See also Vizguerra-Ramirez v. Choate, et. al, Case No. 1:25-cv-881, D. Colo., ECF No. 11 at 45 (collecting cases); F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603 (1966); Local 1814, Intl Longshoremen's Ass'n v. New York Shipping Assn, 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992). By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 2/18/2026.
