MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 10). Petitioner (A File #: 221-493-977) has been detained for more than two months (Doc. 9-4 at 2). He has been provided a bond hearing and was detained as a flight risk. (Doc. 9-2 at 1) He asserts that he should be released from custody due to his medical condition for which he contends he is receiving insufficient care. (Doc. 10) Notably, he has received medical attention though he seems to disagree with the treatment plan. Id. at 3-6. He reports that he was suffering from a medical condition, which resulted in him being held in the medical clinic for observation. Id. at 1. He complains that after this, he was not provided any medication, though there is no indication that he should be provided medication. Id. Because disagreement with medical providers does not demonstrate a basis for release, the request for the temporary restraining order (Doc. 10) is DENIED signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on May 14, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 05/14/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) Currently pending in this matter is Petitioner's petition for habeas corpus (Doc. 1 ). On May 21, 2026, Respondents informed the Court that Petitioner was granted pre-conclusion voluntary departure under safeguards, with an alternative order of removal, ordering his removal to his native country Mexico, if he does not depart by August 4, 2026. (Doc. 12.) As Respondents point out, this Court's order barring Respondents from moving or removing Petitioner precludes Respondents from positioning Petitioner for voluntary removal. The Court stands ready to lift its no transfer/removal order should Petitioner wish to withdraw his habeas petition. Thus, if Petitioner wishes to proceed with voluntary departure, he shall respond to this order immediately indicating as much, and the Court will thereafter lift the no transfer/removal order. Otherwise, the Court will proceed to rule on the merits of Petitioner's habeas petition. The Clerk of Court is directed to serve a copy of this Minute Order on Petitioner. Given the timeline discussed above, Counsel for Respondents is directed to take all available steps to expedite delivery of this order to Petitioner and SHALL within one day of the date of this order file a declaration indicating that the order has been delivered signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on May 26, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 05/26/2026)
