Mar 02, 2026
ORDER denying 8 Motion for Preliminary Injunction. The 8 motion does not identify how this Court has jurisdiction to consider what appears to be a question related to pending immigration proceedings. See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1252, which provides judicial review of final orders of removal; Khalil v. President, United States, 164 F.4th 259, 273 (3d Cir. 2026) (8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9) strips the District Court of jurisdiction, requiring Khalil to wait to raise his claims until he files a petition for review (PFR) of a final order of removal.) Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 2/4/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
