MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 11/17/2025.Pending before the Court is Respondents' 6 Motion to Extend Time. The Court finds expedited resolution of the 2 Motion for TRO/PI is necessary, as requested by Petitioners. See ECF No. 8. While the Court understands the time and resource constraints faced by the AUSA's office due to the influx of habeas petitions because of the government's new policies, those constraints do not outweigh the liberty interests at stake and the irreparable harm of prolonged, potentially unlawful detention.Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondents' 6 requested extension is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The extension is DENIED with respect to the response to the 2 Motion for TRO/PI ONLY and GRANTED with respect to the response to the 1 Petition.The response to the 2 Motion for TRO/PI is due by 11/19/25. Petitioners' reply in support of the 2 Motion is due by 11/20/2025 at 5:00 p.m. In lieu of a written reply brief Petitioners may be heard in reply orally at the hearing on the 2 Motion.A Motion Hearing on the 2 Motion for PI/TRO is set for 11/21/2025 at 01:45 PM in LV Courtroom 7C before Judge Richard F. Boulware II.Respondents' response to the 1 Petition is due by 11/24/2025. Petitioners have 7 days following the filing of the response to reply.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties must meet and confer regarding any future requests for extension of time, and, if at all possible, stipulate to any extensions. Any motions for an extension must confirm efforts to meet and confer and indicate opposing counsel's position on the requested extension.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - IML) (Entered: 11/17/2025)

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 11/18/2025. Before the Court is the Parties' 11 Stipulation for Extension of Time, which revolves around Petitioners' 2 motion for preliminary injunctive relief. Through their stipulation, the Parties seek to (a.) extend Respondents' response timeline and (b.) continue a motion hearing currently scheduled for November 21, 2025. Since it is based on the unavailability of counsel, and the delayed service of Petitioners' 2 Motion, the Court finds that good cause exists for a brief extension and a brief continuance.Nonetheless, based on its unavailability on November 25, 2025, the Court declines to adopt the Parties' proposed dates. The Court adopts a hearing date that is as close as possible to the Parties' proposal, and it sets a response deadline accordingly.Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the Parties' 11 Stipulation is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. Respondents now have up to, and including, November 23, 2025, to file a response to Petitioners' 2 Motion.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the hearing on Petitioners' 2 Motion is CONTINUED to November 24, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. in Courtroom 7C of the Lloyd D. George Courthouse. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - DLQ) (Entered: 11/18/2025)

In the event Respondents are unable to comply with this Order, Respondents must file a status report explaining why.

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 1/5/2026.Petitioners have filed a Motion for leave to proceed under pseudonym and to file documents that contain personal identifying information under seal. See ECF No. [1-4]. Respondents have not responded or indicated any objection to Petitioners' request. The Court finds Petitioners have established that their and their families' privacy interests, based on fear of retaliatory harm if their identities and immigration proceedings were disclosed to parties in their home countries, outweigh the public's interest in having access to that information. See Does I thru XXIII v. Advanced Textile Corp., 214 F. 3d 1058, 1068-69 (9th Cir. 2000); Kamakana v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006). The Court therefore GRANTS the (ECF No. [1-4]) Motion.However, it is unclear to the Court whether Petitioners seek to maintain the seal of the (ECF No. 1 ) Petition and (ECF No. 2 ) Motion, or merely seek to proceed pseudonymously and maintain the seal of the attachments to the Petition (ECF Nos. [1-1], [1-2], [1-3], and [1-4]) and Motion (ECF Nos. [2-1], [2-2]). Moreover, it is unclear whether the parties seek to maintain the seal of Respondents' (ECF No. 16 ) Opposition. Finally, Respondents failed to seal the filing and attachments, which contain personally identifying information as to each Petitioner, in their November 26, 2025 (ECF No. 18 ) "Status Report." Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is instructed to SEAL Respondents' "Status Report" (ECF No. 18 ) and attachments (ECF Nos. [18-1], [18-3], [18-3]) pending further order of the Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before 1/12/2026, the parties shall file a stipulation and proposed order regarding which filings will remain under seal, and which filings shall be unsealed and/or refiled with redactions. Submission of Stipulation and Proposed Order is due by 1/12/2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - IML) (Entered: 01/05/2026)
