ORDER FOR SERVICE AND FURTHER ORDERS OF THE COURT--IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file a response to the Petition within five(5) days of the date of service. In preparing their response, if this case concerns, in whole or in part,whether the Petitioners detention violates due process, Respondents must consider the followingprior court orders issued in the Western District of Texas addressing this question and note anymaterial factual differences: Mendoza v. Noem, Case No. 5:26-CV-0728-JKP (ECF No. 9) (W.D.Tex. Feb. 26, 2026); Fernandez v. Vergara, Case No. SA-26-CA-00500-XR (ECF No. 8) (W.D. Tex.Feb. 26, 2026); Martinez v.

Ripa, 801 F. Supp. 3d 668, 685-87 (W.D. Tex. 2025). Failure to do somay result in a summary order granting all relief requested in the petition on that issue other than therequest for attorneys fees. In lieu of a full response, Respondents may choose to file a responseindicating that there are no material factual differences here and preserving all legal arguments madeby the Federal Respondents in those cases on the procedural due process claim. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner elects to file a reply, Petitioner may do so nolater than 7 days after the Respondents file their answers/responses.-2-IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any possible or anticipated removal or transfer ofPetitioner Jingu Li is IMMEDIATELY STAYED1 until further order from this Court. Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner outside of this judicial district during the pendency ofthis litigation and until further Order of this Court. Of course, this stay does not precludeRespondents from taking necessary steps to effect Petitioners removal, it merely stays the physicalremoval or transfer of Petitioner..
