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. 4) and to expedite decision on his case (Doc. 5). Petitioner (A File #: 221-489-563) asserts that he has been detained since December 2025 (Doc. 1 at 1), more than 5 months ago. He does not explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b). Moreover, this Court is inundated with petitions seeking the same relief and for the same reasons. Thus, though the Court is sympathetic to Petitioner's concerns that this matter be determined quickly--and it will endeavor to do so--his request for an expedited decision (Doc. 5) is, in effect, an attempt to jump the line ahead of similarly situated individuals. His request for expedited review (Doc. 5) 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 24, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 04/24/2026)
