ORDER denying 3 Motion for TRO. ORDER. Petitioner's 3 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is DENIED. In his Motion, Petitioner seeks to enjoin transfer outside of the Western District of Pennsylvania. The Court lacks authority to grant that relief as the places of detention for aliens pending removal is left to the discretion of the Attorney General, 8 U.S.C. § 1231(g)(1), and Congress has "limited federal district courts' jurisdiction to review decisions or actions made pursuant to the sound discretion of DHS officials[.]" Jane v. Rodriguez, No. 20-CV-5922 (ES), 2020 WL 10140953, at *1 (D.N.J. May 22, 2020); see also Sinclair v. Attorney General of U.S., 198 F. Appx 218, 222 n.3 (3d Cir. 2006). Additionally, Petitioner's request for a custody determination, bond hearing, and/or release goes beyond the "limited nature of a [T.R.O.]" and instead requests "mandatory, affirmative relief[,]" which may not be afforded via a T.R.O. Hope v. Warden York County Prison, 956 F.3d 156, 16162 (3d Cir. 2020) (finding that where the district court purported to enter an ex parte T.R.O. but directed the release of twenty petitioners, the "relief altered the status quo, exceeding the temporary and limited nature of a [T.R.O.]") (citing Granny Goose Foods Inc. v. Brotherhood of Teamsters and Auto Truck Drivers Local, 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974)). Regardless of the merits of Petitioners arguments regarding his entitlement to a bond hearing, the Court cannot afford him the relief he seeks without first hearing from Respondents. Therefore, the Court denies Petitioners Motion at ECF No. 3. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 4/16/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (nsk) (Entered: 04/16/2026)
