MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2). Petitioner asserts that he has been detained since January 27, 2026 (Doc. 2 at 2), nearly 60 days ago. He does not adequately explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b). The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 21 days. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting 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 circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on March 23, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 03/23/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has been informed that DHS's online detainee locator database apparently contains erroneous country of birth information for Petitioner, leading the Court to believe he was no longer in custody. Thus, this case was closed in error. The Court's April 24, 2026 Minute Order (Doc. 7 ) is VACATED and the Clerk of Court is directed to reopen the case signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on April 27, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 04/27/2026)
