ORDER: To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise. See, e.g., Khalil v. Joyce, No. 25-CV-01935-JMF, 2025 WL 750599, at *l (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) (citing cases); see also, e.g., Du v. United States Dep't of Homeland Sec., No. 3:25-CV-644 (OAW), 2025 WL 1317944, at *1 (D. Conn. Apr. 24, 2025) ("[A] a federal court may temporarily enjoin immigration authorities from deporting individuals if it preserves the court's jurisdiction over a case or cases."). The Court notes that the Chief Judge's October 2, 2025 Amended Standing Order staying certain civil cases involving the United States Attorney's Office for this District does not apply to immigration cases and thus does not, on its face, apply here. Nevertheless, to ensure that the Government has notice, Petitioner's counsel is directed (1) to serve Respondents with a copy of the petition and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, on the Civil Division of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York by email addressed to jeffrey.oestericher@usdoj.gov and (2) to docket proof of such service. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 11/4/2025) (tg) (Entered: 11/04/2025)

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER re 22 EMERGENCY LETTER MOTION to Expedite or Modify Order to Require Return to the Southern District of New York: For the reasons set forth within, Guzman's letter motion is GRANTED as unopposed, and Respondents are ORDERED unless Guzman requests otherwise to promptly transfer her to be released in the Southern District of New York. Respondents' protestations notwithstanding, the Court is confident given the record in other cases, see, e.g., Artiga v. Genalo, No. 25-CV-5208 (OEM), 2025 WL 2829434, at *9 (E.D.N.Y. Oct. 5, 2025) (ordering the Government to transport the petitioner from Folkston, Georgia, back to the Eastern District of New York within one day) that such transfer could be accomplished as soon as tomorrow rather than Friday (let alone the weekend). Accordingly, the Court modifies its prior Order to require release and certification thereof in the Southern District of New York by 5 p.m. TOMORROW, November 20, 2025, unless, in light of this Order, Guzman's counsel advises Respondents by noon TODAY that she would prefer immediate release from Louisiana, in which case the release and certification thereof shall be by 5 p.m. TODAY. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 11/19/2025) (ab) (Entered: 11/19/2025)
