ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE and Electronic Service upon the US Attorney's Office re ECF No. 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed by J.R. The United States Attorney, as attorney for Respondents, is directed to show cause by 5:00pm on March 19, 2026, in writing, why the petition should not be granted, and why Respondents should not be ordered to immediately release Petitioner from detention. In its response, the government should also address whether the instant Petition is controlled by this Court's prior opinions in O.F.B. v. Maldonado, No. 25-cv-6336, 2025 WL 3277677 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 25, 2025); R.P.L. v. Maldonado, No. 25-cv-6886, 2025 WL 3731864 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 26, 2025); and Ndiaye v. Francis, No. 26-cv-0069, 2026 WL 99930 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 14, 2026). If so, the government may waive its rights to a response and submit a letter or otherwise consent to Petitioner's release without prejudice to its rights on appeal.If the government chooses to file a response, counsel for Respondents shall promptly file a notice of appearance and must serve a copy of the response on Petitioner, with proof of such service to the Clerk of this Court. As part of its response, the government is directed to file, under seal if necessary, any records, documents, or other information in Petitioner's immigration file, as well as any underlying records relied upon in its submission not yet filed by Petitioner, and records indicating whether any property was seized from Petitioner at the time of arrest.If the government files a response, Petitioner is directed to file his reply, if any, by 5:00 p.m. on March 24, 2026, with proof of service.Service of a copy of this order, together with a copy of the petition, will be made by the Clerk of this Court through the electronic case filing system to the United States Attorney.To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise. See, e.g., Kuprashvili v. Flanagan, No. 25-cv-5268, 2025 WL 2382059 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2025) (collecting cases staying removal to maintain the status quo). Additionally, in light of Petitioner's interest in participating in further proceedings before this Court and maintaining adequate access to legal counsel throughout these proceedings, Petitioner shall not be transferred to a facility outside of this District or the Southern District of New York. See Samb v. Joyce, No. 25-cv-6373, ECF No. 3 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 4, 2025). Ordered by Judge Hector Gonzalez on 3/16/2026. (SMR)
