MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 3/2/2026: Pending the issuance of the court's order resolving the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondents shall not take any action to remove petitioner from the United States or to move petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (acknowledging the courts 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 present, the court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending its forthcoming order resolving petitioner's pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order. In light of petitioner's pro se status, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to serve respondents with a copy of the petition, motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with this order, to the United States Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of California by email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter Notices of Appearance. Respondents shall file a written opposition to the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order by 5:00 PM tomorrow, 3/3/2026. In that opposition, respondents shall substantively address whether any provision of law or fact in this case would distinguish it from the Ninth Circuit's decision in Singh v. Holder, 638 F.3d 1196 (9th Cir. 2011), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Furthermore, respondents are directed to indicate in their opposition whether they oppose converting the motion for temporary restraining order into a motion for preliminary injunction. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties' proposal. (Deputy Clerk PAB) (Entered: 03/02/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 3/4/2026: On 3/2/2026, petitioner, appearing pro se, filed a motion for temporary restraining order in which he alleges that he entered the United States lawfully on a valid visa, petitioner is currently detained, and on 1/5/2026 appeared before an immigration judge for a custody redetermination hearing, and the immigration judge denied bond "based solely on a finding that [p]etitioner allegedly posed a 'risk of flight.'" (Doc. No. 2 at 3.) In their opposition respondents clarify that petitioner has now been in detention for three months. (Doc. No. 6 at 4.) Petitioner's chief complaint appears to be that the immigration judge denied him release on bond based on a finding of risk of flight, as opposed to dangerousness. (Doc. No. 2 at 3, 5.) An immigration judge may deny bond based on the detainee's "dangerousness or risk of flight[,]" and as such petitioner has not demonstrated that the immigration judge erred. Martinez v. Clark, 124 F.4th 775, 786 (9th Cir. 2024) (emphasis added). Because petitioner has not demonstrated that he is likely to succeed on the merits of his petition, petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order (Doc. No. 2 ) is hereby DENIED without prejudice. The petition for habeas corpus (Doc. No. 1 ) is referred to Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim for further proceedings. (Deputy Clerk JRM) (Entered: 03/04/2026)
