MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 06/03/2026: Pending the issuance of the court's order resolving the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that respondent shall not take any action to remove petitioner from the United States or to move petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (acknowledging the court's express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction). Given the exigent circumstances present, the court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending its forthcoming order resolving petitioner's pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order. Further, the court has conducted a preliminary review of the pending motion and petition for writ of habeas corpus and observes that this case may be filed by a petitioner who has previously filed petitions seeking the same relief sought in the case pending before the undersigned. See 1:26-cv-01236-KES-EPG; 2:26-cv-00541-KES-EPG. Nonetheless, counsel for respondent shall promptly enter Notices of Appearance and file a response to the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order by 5:00 PM on Thursday, 6/4/2026.(Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk CRN) (Entered: 06/03/2026)
