MINUTE ORDER (text only) authorized by Judge Lauren King. Considering the expedited briefing schedule for the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Dkt. No. 9, which obviates the need to file a motion for an order to show cause, the Court AMENDS its November 3, 2025 7 Order as follows: the 7 Order remains in effect until the Court issues a written order on the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Respondents and all their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and persons acting on their behalf or in concert with them are RESTRAINED from transferring Lahamendu from the Northwest ICE Processing Center to any other detention facility until the Court issues a written order on the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, unless necessary for medical evaluation, medical isolation/quarantine, clinical care, extenuating security concerns, release, or removal. Petitioner's 10 Motion for Preliminary Injunction is denied as moot. The Court notes that a motion for preliminary injunction is a 28-day motion under LCR 7(d)(4); Petitioner is reminded that he must comply with applicable rules. (NAW) (Entered: 11/18/2025)
