MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. Respondents shall make a preliminary filing by 11/20/2025 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 Castanon Nava v. DHS, No. 18 C 3757, Dkt. 214 (N.D. Ill) (addressing a consent decree) has any effect on Petitioner's habeas corpus case. Pursuant to the Court's authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Government is ordered not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States and not to transfer him to any federal judicial district other than those in the States of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin. A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 145 S. Ct. 1364, 1369 (2025) (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."). If the Petitioner is already, as of the posting of this order, located outside of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin but within the United States, or is in the midst of transportation outside of those States to another State, then this bar on transfer does not require the immediate return of the Petitioner as long as Respondents intend to hold Petitioner within the United States. Instead, the parties and the Court will address the issue after the Respondents make the preliminary filing. 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. This case is set for a telephonic status hearing on 11/21/2025 at 8:45 a.m. to discuss next steps, in particular the Respondents' view on the relevance of recent decisions granting habeas corpus relief to immigration detainees in this District. See, e.g., Espino Morales v. Olson et al., No. 25-cv-12858, Dkt. No. 11 (Durkin, J.) (citing cases). To join the telephone conference, dial (650) 479-3207, Access Code 180 815 7648. Throughout the hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking. Counsel must be in a quiet area while on the line. Please be sure to keep your phone on mute when you are not speaking. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings.
