Supp. 3d 268, 286-92 (S.D.N.Y. 2025); c. the statutory provision(s) under which Respondents assert the authority to detain Petitioner; d. whether this action is distinguishable or analogous to previous cases decided by this Court or any other Court in this district, see, e.g., Weng v. Genalo, No. 25-CV-09595-JHR, 2026 WL 194248 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 25, 2026); J.G.O. v. Francis, No. 25-CV-7233-AS, 2025 WL 3040142, at *1 (S.D.N.Y.

Within ten business days of the date of this Order, Petitioner shall file any reply to the Respondents' memorandum in opposition. 4. To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the Petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States without an order by this Court allowing such removal. See, e.g., M.K. v.
