MOTION to Stay of Removal by Daniel Alejandro Acevedo Velez. (vl) (Entered: 06/02/2026)
Main Document:
Stay
Jun 02, 2026
Text Order DENYING 14 Motion to Stay entered by Judge Xavier Rodriguez. The Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the relief requested in Petitioner's motion. "A request for a stay of removal is a challenge to a removal order." See Imran v. Harper, No. 25-30370, 2026 WL 93131, at *1 (5th Cir. Jan. 13, 2026). District courts generally "lack[] jurisdiction to grant such relief." Id. Federal courts lack jurisdiction over "claims connected directly and immediately with a 'decision or action by the Attorney General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders.'" Humphries v. Various Fed. USINS Emps.,164 F.3d 936, 943 (5th Cir. 1999) (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g)). (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
