EO: The court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 3 . The Motion appears to raise legal issues addressed by several other district judges, in this court and others, particularly in its claim that a bond hearing is required. See, e.g., Crispin M.C. v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-01487, 2026 WL 70553, at *3-7 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 8, 2026); Esquivel-Ipina v. LaRose, 812 F. Supp. 3d 1073, 1080-81 (S.D. Cal. 2025). On or before April 17, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that distinguish it from the decisions cited above and justify denying the Motion, or if the matter is not substantively distinguishable from those decisions. Respondents shall also state their position as to whether the Motion should be converted into a motion for preliminary injunction and whether they request a hearing on the Motion. Pending the court's decision, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer or otherwise take petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See California Energy Comm'n v. Johnson, 767 F.2d 631, 634 (9th Cir. 1985) ("The All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), empowers the federal courts to issue writs of mandamus necessary to protect their prospective jurisdiction."). IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 04/15/2026)
