MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging petitioner's present detention in the custody of Respondents. The Court sets a telephonic status hearing for 3/9/2026 at 9:15 a.m. Dial-in information to follow in a separate minute entry. At the telephonic status hearing, Respondents must be prepared to provide the following information: (1) whether Petitioner was located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time the habeas petition was filed; (2) the current status of Petitioner's immigration and custody-related proceedings; and (3) Petitioner's current location and proper Respondent based on that location. Pursuant to the Court's authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, Respondents are ordered not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States and not to transfer Petitioner 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 at the 3/9/2026 hearing. 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.
