MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/23/2026: Pending the issuance of the court's order resolving the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondent shall not take any action to remove petitioner from the United States or to move petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (acknowledging 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 exigent circumstances present, the court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending its forthcoming order resolving petitioner's pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order. In light of petitioner's pro se status, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to serve respondent with a copy of the petition, motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with this order, to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California by email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Counsel for respondent shall promptly enter Notices of Appearance. Respondent shall file a written opposition to the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order by Monday, 4/27/2026, at 5 P.M. In that opposition, respondent shall substantively address whether any provision of law or fact in this case would distinguish it from this court's decision in Arshakyam v. Warden of California City Det., No. 1:25-cv-01780-DAD-AC (HC), 2026 WL 143143 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 20, 2026), and other similar cases previously decided by this court, or otherwise indicate that the matter is not substantively distinguishable. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties' proposal. (cc: California City) (Deputy Clerk MCF) (Entered: 04/23/2026)
