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. 2). Petitioner (A File #: 221-489-562) fails to indicate in his petition or in his TRO motion when he was arrested by ICE. Without this information, the Court cannot properly evaluate the timeliness of his motion. Local Rule 231(b). Even still, the dates on the letters submitted in support of the petition (Doc. 1 at 7-14) strongly suggest that the TRO motion is not timely. Thus, the TRO is DENIED. The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 21 days. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on April 15, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 04/15/2026)
