MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the papers filed thus far in this matter, including the request for a temporary restraining order. (Doc. 2 .) On this record, the Court preliminarily believes Petitioner is likely to demonstrate success on the due process claim and that immediate release may be the appropriate remedy. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than noon on October 30, 2025 why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner may file a reply no later than noon on November 3, 2025. The Court will not set a hearing at this time. Instead, the Court directs the parties to indicate on or before their respective filing deadlines (1) whether they are demanding an evidentiary hearing; and (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing. Depending on the parties' responses, the Court may determine it is appropriate to rule on the papers. If Respondents have no new arguments to offer that have not already been addressed by the Court in similar matters, they may so indicate while reserving appellate rights.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 exigent 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 preliminary relief.No later than October 27, 2025, to the extent not already accomplished, Petitioner's counsel is directed: (1) to serve respondents with a copy of the Petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on October 27, 2025. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 10/27/2025)
