Text Order DENYING 2 Motion to Stay entered by Judge Xavier Rodriguez. The Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the relief requested in Petitioner's motion. "A request for a stay of removal is a challenge to a removal order." See Imran v. Harper, No. 25-30370, 2026 WL 93131, at *1 (5th Cir. Jan. 13, 2026). District courts generally "lack[] jurisdiction to grant such relief." Id. Federal courts lack jurisdiction over "claims connected directly and immediately with a 'decision or action by the Attorney General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders.'" Humphries v. Various Fed. USINS Emps., 164 F.3d 936, 943 (5th Cir. 1999) (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g)). (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
