MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. Respondent must file a response to the habeas corpus petition on or before 10/21/2025; any reply by Petitioner must be filed on or before 10/28/2025. In addition, Respondent must submit a preliminary filing on or before 10/14/2025 stating: (1) whether Petitioner was located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time this case was filed; (2) the current status of Petitioner's immigration proceedings; and (3) Petitioner's current location and proper Respondent based on that location. In addition, the government's preliminary filing must briefly address whether, in the government's view, this week's decision in Castanon Nava v. DHS, No. 18 C 3757 (N.D. Ill) (addressing a consent decree) has any effect on Petitioner's habeas corpus case. Under the authority granted by the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Court directs the United States not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States and not to transfer him to any federal judicial district other than those in the States of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin. A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 145 S. Ct. 1364, 1369 (2025) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a)) ("[T]he Government represented on the record in federal court that it reserved the right to remove detainees after midnight. We had the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to the applicants and to preserve our jurisdiction over the matter."); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) ("The District Court had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief.") If Petitioner is already, as of the posting of this order, located outside of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin but within the United States, or is in the midst of transportation outside of those States to another State, then this bar on transfer does not require the immediate return of the Petitioner so long as Respondent intends to hold Petitioner within the United States. Instead, the parties and the Court will address the issue after the Respondent makes the preliminary filing. The Clerk shall email a copy of this order to Tom Walsh, Chief of the Civil Division, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, Craig Oswald, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, and Joshua Press, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois. An in-person status hearing is set for 12:30 p.m. on 10/16/2025 in Courtroom 2125. Mailed notice. (jn,) (Entered: 10/09/2025)
