TEXT ORDER. Petitioner filed a pro se petition for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. 1. He also seeks a temporary restraining order. Dkt. 2. The Court denies the portion of the TRO motion that requests an order enjoining Respondent 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 Respondent 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 and will issue a scheduling order setting forth the relevant deadlines. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr., on 4/21/2026. (KEF)This was mailed to: Petitioner. [Transferred from nywd on 5/6/2026.] (Entered: 04/21/2026)
