TEXT ORDER. Pro se petitioner Mohammed Kharyul Hussain seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. 1. He also seeks a temporary restraining order ("TRO"). Dkt. 2. The Court denies the portion of the TRO motion that requests an order enjoining Respondents from transferring Petitioner outside the Western District of New York because the Court retains jurisdiction over the petition regardless of whether Petitioner is transferred. See Santillanes v. U.S. Parole Comm'n, 754 F.2d 887, 888 (10th Cir. 1985) ("It is well established that jurisdiction attaches on the initial filing for habeas corpus relief, and it is not destroyed by a transfer of the petitioner and the accompanying custodial change."). The Court also denies the portion of the TRO that requests an order enjoining Respondents from removing him from the United States while this proceeding is pending because 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g) bars this Court from ordering such relief. See Reno v. Am.-Arab Anti-Discrimination Comm., 525 U.S. 471, 482 (1999); Delgado v. Quarantillo, 643 F.3d 52, 53 (2d Cir. 2011). The Court will address the balance of the TRO motion when it resolves the petition. Respondents shall respond to the petition and the balance of the TRO motion by 5/18/2026. Petitioner's response is due by 5/29/2026. The Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of the petition (Dkt. 1), the TRO motion (Dkt. 2), and a copy of this text order, electronically via a Notice of Electronic Filing to the United States Attorney's Office, Western District of New York at USANYW-Immigration-Habeas@usdoj.gov. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr. on 4/28/2026. (KLH)This was mailed to: Petitioner. (Entered: 04/28/2026)
