MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 3/11/2026: 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 court's 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. Further, no later than tomorrow, 3/12/2026, by 5:00 PM, petitioner's counsel is DIRECTED (1) 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 Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California by email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov; and (2) to promptly file proof of such service on the docket. 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 on Friday, 3/13/2026. In that opposition, respondents shall substantively address whether any provision of law or fact in this case would distinguish it from this court's decision in Quichimbo-Jimenez v. Warden, California City Correctional Center, 2:26-cv-00739-DAD-EFB, 2026 WL 679378 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 10, 2026), 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 and whether they oppose the court resolving the merits of the underlying habeas petition. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties' proposal. (Deputy Clerk PAB) (Entered: 03/11/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 3/16/2026: (Text Only Entry).On 3/11/2026, petitioner filed a 2 motion for a temporary restraining order, in which she alleges she was previously determined not to be a danger to the community or a flight risk and requests her immediate release. (Doc. No. [2-1] at 9.) On 3/13/2026, respondents filed an opposition (Doc. No. 7 ) to petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order, which they state that petitioner was provided a bond hearing on 3/12/2026 and denied release. (Doc. No. [7-4] at 1-2.) Petitioner is DIRECTED to file a reply brief in light of the bond hearing having been held since she filed her motion for a temporary restraining order. In that reply, petitioner shall address when immigration officials previously determined that she was not a danger to the community or a flight risk prior to her re-detention, supported by documentation or declaration where possible.
