MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 3/2/2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 3 ). The issues raised in Count 2 of the Petition appear to mirror those previously addressed by the Court in many prior cases. See Garcia Mariagua v. Chestnut, No. 1:25-cv-01744-DJC-CSK; Ortega v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01663-DJC-CKD; Lopez v. Lyons, No. 2:25-cv-03174-DJC-CKD. The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 3 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."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-cv-03118-PMH, 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). On or before March 5, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that render it distinguishable from the Court's prior orders listed above and justify denying the petition, or indicate this matter is not substantively distinguishable. This matter is not set for a hearing though the Court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order together with a copy of Petitioner's 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and the 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order on the United States Attorney. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. [TEXT ONLY ORDER] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 03/02/2026)

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 3/19/2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Motion for Contempt. (ECF No. 13 .) Therein, Petitioner claims Respondents failed to comply with this Court's Release Order at ECF No. 11 . Respondents thereafter advised that due to an error Petitioner was transferred and not release but was ultimately released from custody on March 7, 2026. (ECF No. 15 .) The failure to promptly comply with the Court's order and release Petitioner is of serious concern to the Court. The Court expects the Government to ensure compliance with all Court orders. Nevertheless, it appears that the failure to release Petitioner was the result of an administrative error that Respondents sought to quickly correct and Petitioner has now been released. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's 13 Motion is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. [TEXT ONLY ENTRY] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 03/19/2026)
