MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the papers filed thus far in this matter, including the request for a temporary restraining order. (Doc. 2 .) On this record, the Court preliminarily believes Petitioner is likely to demonstrate success on his due process claim and that immediate release likely is the appropriate remedy. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than noon on October 9, 2025 why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner may file a reply no later than noon on October 14, 2025. The Parties are further ordered to appear for a hearing on the motion before the undersigned at 1:30 pm on Thursday, October 16, 2025 via Zoom videoconference (details to be provided to the parties prior to the hearing). Alternatively, the Court would be amenable to ruling on the papers if the parties indicate that they are willing to waive a hearing. If Respondents have no new arguments to offer that have not already been addressed by the Court, they may so indicate while reserving appellate rights.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 October 5, 2025, to the extent not already accomplished, Petitioner's counsel 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 to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California 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 October 6, 2025. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 10/06/2025)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court's evaluation of the pending injunctive relief request requires review of the documents relied upon by the government's declarant. (See Doc. 10 -1.) Accordingly, those documents SHALL be provided no later than noon on Tuesday October 14, 2025. To the extent some of those documents already are in the record, the government SHALL cite to them. The parties are reminded that all filings in immigration matters, with the exception of Court orders, are docketed in "restricted" status, (see https://www.caed.uscourts.gov/caednew/index.cfm/cmecf-e-filing/viewing-restricted-documents/), so the government may dispense with the process of redacting personally identifying information signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on October 10, 2025. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 10/10/2025)
