MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 1. In the Petition, Petitioner requests that the Court order his immediate release from detention, or in the alternative order a bond hearing. See id. at 7. The United States Magistrate Judge issued an Order to Show Cause setting forth a briefing schedule regarding the Petition on May 6, 2026. ECF No. 3. The same day, this case was reassigned to this Court. Id. Accordingly, the Court resets the briefing schedule as set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Order to Show Cause. See ECF No. 3. Having reviewed the Petition and Order to Show Cause, the Court hereby ORDERS that Respondents, within 5 calendar days of service, are ORDERED TO RESPOND to the Petition and are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v. Collins, No. 1:25-cv-00786-ADA-SH, 2025 WL 1954064, at *1 (W.D. Tex. July 7, 2025) (explaining that while § 2243 refers to a three day deadline, this requirement is "subordinate to the district court's authority to set deadlines" itself, and granting respondents a fourteen day deadline to respond in order to "give [r]espondents adequate time to brief the issues" (quotations omitted)). Finally, the Court hereby ORDERS that pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order. See also Vizguerra-Ramirez v. Choate, et. al, Case No. 1:25-cv-881, D. Colo., ECF No. 11 at 45 (collecting cases); F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603 (1966); Local 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n v. New York Shipping Ass'n, 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992). By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 5/8/2026.
