MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Petitioners have filed a habeas corpus petition challenging their present detention in ICE custody. Respondent shall make a preliminary filing by 4/30/26 at 12:00 PM stating: (1) whether Petitioners were located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time this case was filed; (2) the current status of Petitioners' immigration proceedings; and (3) Petitioners' current location and proper Respondent based on that location. Pursuant to the Court's authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Government is ordered not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States and not to transfer them to any other federal judicial district outside of the Northern District of Illinois. A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 605 U.S. 91, 97 (2025) (per curiam) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a)) ("[T]he Government represented on the record in federal court that it reserved the right to remove detainees after midnight. We had the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to the applicants and to preserve our jurisdiction over the matter."); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) ("The District Court had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief."). If the Petitioners are already, as of the posting of this order, located outside of the Northern District of Illinois but within the United States, or is in the midst of transportation to another State, then this bar on transfer does not require the immediate return of the Petitioners as long as Respondent intends to hold Petitioner within the United States. Instead, the parties and the Court will address the issue after the Respondent makes the preliminary filing. The Government shall respond to the petition by 5/5/26, Petitioners shall file a reply by 5/12/26. The Clerk shall email a copy of this order to Tom Walsh, Chief of the Civil Division, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, Craig Oswald, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, and Joshua Press, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois.Notice mailed by Judge's staff (lf, ) (Entered: 04/29/2026)
