MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Petitioner has filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. If Petitioner is still within the Northern District of Illinois, pursuant to the Court's authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Government is ordered not to transfer him to any federal judicial district other than those in the States of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin. A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 605 U.S. 91, 97 (2025) (per curiam) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a)) ("[T]he Government represented on the record in federal court that it reserved the right to remove detainees after midnight. We had the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to the applicants and to preserve our jurisdiction over the matter."); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) ("The District Court had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief.") If Petitioner is already, as of the posting of this order, located outside of the Northern District of Illinois but is within the United States, then this bar on transfer does not require the immediate return of the Petitioner but does require that Respondent not transfer Petitioner outside of the United States. The Clerk shall email a copy of this order to Tom Walsh, Chief of the Civil Division, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, Craig Oswald, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, and Joshua Press, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Elaine E. Bucklo: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. Respondent is ordered to respond to the habeas corpus petition by 11/13/25. Petitioner shall reply by 11/20/25. The Court notes that habeas corpus relief has been recently granted for immigration detainees by other Judges of the Northern District of Illinois in Ochoa Ochoa v. Noem, No. 25 C 10865, 2025 WL 2938779 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 16, 2025) (Jenkins, J.), H.G.V.U. v. Smith, No. 25 C 10931, 2025 WL 2962610 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 20, 2020) (Coleman, J.), Mariano Miguel, No. 25 C 11137 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 21, 2025) (Alonso, J.), and G.Z.T. v. Smith, No. 25 C 12802 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 21, 2025) (Ellis, J.). The Court shall leave it to the parties to consider the relevance of these recent decisions, if any, to the instant case. In addition, Respondent shall make a preliminary filing by 11/5/25 stating: (1) whether Petitioner was located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time this case was filed; (2) the current status of Petitioner's immigration proceedings; (3) Petitioner's current location and proper Respondent based on that location; and (4) the government's view as to whether the recent decision in Castaon Nava v. DHS, No. 18 C 3757 (N.D. Ill) (Dkt. 214) (addressing a consent decree) has any effect on Petitioner's habeas corpus case. The All Writs Order entered by Judge Perry in her capacity as Emergency Judge is adopted by the Court and remains in effect. This case is set for an in-person status hearing on 11/6/25 at 9:45 a.m. in Courtroom 2243. Mailed notice. (mgh, ) (Entered: 11/03/2025)
