ORDER TO ANSWER/SHOW CAUSE AND ENJOINING TRANSFER by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland: The USAO shall ANSWER the Petition and any pending motions for release within 10 business days and show cause why relief should not be granted, unless the Court sets a separate deadline/hearing to address emergency relief. The USAO's answer MUST specify whether the Court has already ruled on the legal issue(s) in this case and, if so, whether the facts are distinguishable from prior rulings. Petitioner's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, ECF No. 2, is GRANTED and Petitioner is excused from prepaying the filing fee. Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 3, is GRANTED IN PART to the extent Petitioner requests an order enjoining the Government from transferring him from the District of New Mexico while these proceedings are pending, absent a final order of removal. To the extent Petitioner seeks the same relief as the Petition - but on an emergency basis - such request is denied. This Court already addresses immigration petitions as soon as possible. Finally, the Clerk's Office shall confirm the docket lists the following Respondents: the facility Warden; the El Paso Field Office Director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the U.S. Attorney General; Todd Lyons; and Markwayne Mullin.
