MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. Respondent is directed to respond to the habeas corpus petition on or before 11/21/2025. Any reply by Petitioner must be filed on or before 11/28/2025. In addition, Respondent must make a preliminary filing on or before 11/14/2025 stating: (1) whether Petitioner was located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time this case was filed; (2) the current status of Petitioner's immigration proceedings; (3) Petitioner's current location and proper Respondent based on that location; and (4) the government's view as to whether the recent decision in Castaon Nava v. DHS, No. 18 C 3757 (N.D. Ill) (Dkt. 214) (addressing a consent decree) has any effect on Petitioner's habeas corpus case. Under the authority granted by the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Court orders the Government not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States. 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.") This requirement is without prejudice to reconsideration upon request of the United States. 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.
