Text ORDER FOR SERVICE of 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. It is ORDERED that notice of electronic filing of 1 Petition and this Order to the United States Attorney in San Antonio, Texas shall constitute service on the Federal Respondents and on all Respondents unless otherwise contested. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file a response to the Petition within seven (7) days of the date of service. The Court construes the Petition as raising, at least in part, a Fifth Amendment Due Process claim which Respondents should address. See, e.g., Longoria Mendoza v. Noem, __ F. Supp. 3d __, No 5:26-CV-0728-JKP, 2026 WL 809441, at *610 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 26, 2026); Bonilla Chicas v. Warden, __ F. Supp.3d __, No. 26-CV-131, 2026 WL 539475, at *6 (S.D. Tex. Feb. 20, 2026); Marceau v. Noem, No. 26-CV-237-KC, 2026 WL 368953, at *1 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 9, 2026). Additionally, the response must identify: (1) Petitioner's alleged country of birth, so that Petitioner can be located in the Online Detainee Locator System; (2) Petitioner's alleged date of entry and statutory basis for removability; (3) any previous immigration detention history, e.g., whether Petitioner has previously been subject to immigration detention and, if so, the approximate date of Petitioner's previous release into the interior; and (4) Petitioner's alleged immigration status, e.g., whether Petitioner has a pending claim for asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture or is subject to a final removal order. It is FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner elects to file a reply, Petitioner may do so no later than seven days after the Respondents file their answers/responses. Signed by Judge Jason K. Pulliam.

Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief

Text Order DENYING [] Motion to Prevent Transfer. Petitioners transfer to another facility does not deprive this Court of jurisdiction over the Petition. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 441 (2004) (When the Government moves a habeas petitioner after she properly filed a petition naming her immediate custodian, the District Court retains jurisdiction and may direct the writ to any respondent within its jurisdiction who has legal authority to effectuate the prisoner's release. (citation modified)); see also, e.g., Mason v. Alatary, No. 9:23-CV-0193, 2023 WL 2965619, at *3 (N.D.N.Y. Apr. 17, 2023) (Because jurisdiction attaches on the initial filing for habeas corpus relief, the court maintains its jurisdiction even when a petitioner is transferred to a different judicial district. (citation modified)). Moreover, the Petition remaining with this Court conserves judicial resources. See Sambissa ex rel. Sambissa v. Noem, No. EP-25-CV-00237-DCG, 2025 WL 2946619, at *4-8 (W.D. Tex. Aug. 31, 2025). Signed by Judge Jason K. Pulliam (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (ks1)
