MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; ORDER PREVENTING REMOVAL OR TRANSFER PENDING FURTHER COURT ORDER 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 ). Based on the current record, it appears Petitioner has demonstrated likely success on at least one of his claims and that some form of immediate relief may be appropriate. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than March 3, 2026 why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Any response SHALL directly address whether this case is distinguishable from the numerous cases in which this Court has ordered preliminary injunctive relief and SHALL provide the Court with copies of any portions of Petitioner's A-File or related supervision records Respondents rely upon. Petitioner may file a reply no later than March 5, 2026. On or before their respective filing deadlines the parties SHALL indicate (1) whether they are requesting a hearing; (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing; and (3) whether they believe the Court may rule on the merits of the Petition without additional briefing. 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 exigent 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 preliminary relief. No later than today, February 23, 2026, to the extent not already accomplished, Petitioner is directed: (1) to serve Respondents with a copy of the Petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail (noting Petitioner's name and A-File number in the memo line) to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, with a copy to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov, and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on February 23, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 02/23/2026)
