MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. Pursuant to the Court's authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Government is ordered 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 the 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 as 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, Thomas.walsh2@usdoj.gov, Craig Oswald, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, craig.oswald@usdoj.gov, and Joshua Press, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, Joshua.press@usdoj.gov.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government has asserted that at the time this habeas petition was filed, Petitioner was in the Southern District of Indiana. Although Petitioner was asked to provide any evidence to the contrary by 10/30/2025, he has not done so. A habeas corpus petition must be filed in the federal judicial district of Petitioner's confinement. Trump v. J.G.G., 604 U.S. 670, 672 (2025) (citing Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 442 (2004)). Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1631, the Clerk shall transfer this matter forthwith to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. Mailed notice.
