On October 30, 2025, Petitioner filed an Emergency Motion for Preliminary Injunction and/or Temporary Restraining Order (DE 4 ) ("Motion").

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. The Court is unable to fully evaluate Petitioner's Amended Emergency Motion for Preliminary Injunction and/or Temporary Restraining Order (DE 8 ) because the record lacks sufficient factual information to adjudicate the Motion. Specifically, the record contains no information regarding Petitioner's whereabouts or status between his July 2013 removal and his October 2017 conviction; contains no information regarding the period between Petitioner's 2017 conviction and the filing of his U-Visa petition in 2022; contains no details regarding the factual basis, qualifying criminal activity, or circumstances underlying Petitioner's U-Visa Petition; provides no explanation for the grounds on which USCIS granted Petitioner BFD (bona fide determination) status, and fails to describe the circumstances of Petitioner's October 2025 arrest or the current basis for his detention. Accordingly, on or before November 24, 2025, the Parties shall each file a supplemental memorandum addressing and curing the deficiencies outlined above. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 11/17/2025. (ah06) (Entered: 11/17/2025)
