ORDER. Before the Court is Felix Joel Bastidas Munoz's motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. Dkt. No. 2 . Because the motion improperly requests the ultimate relief sought in Bastidas Munoz's pending habeas petition (Dkt. No. 1 ), and because his request for a stay of removal is at best premature, the motion is denied. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 3/19/2026) (skh) (Entered: 03/19/2026)
