Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered DENYING Petitioner’s motion for an emergency temporary restraining order. Petitioner’s petition purports to seek an emergency temporary restraining order (“TRO”). See Dkt. 1 at 1, 4. However, to the extent Petitioner intends the Court to construe his petition simultaneously as a motion for a TRO, that would be improper. See Scott v. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 2025 WL 1314248, at *1 (D. Mass. Apr. 1, 2025) (“If a litigant seeks injunctive relief prior to the final resolution of the case, they must also file a separate motion for a preliminary injunction identifying the relief sought and an accompanying memorandum providing factual and legal support for the motion.”). Further, Petitioner’s filing fails to meet the requirements for a preliminary injunction or TRO pursuant to the Court’s Local Rules or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, which require, inter alia, (1) the submission of a memorandum of reasons to support any motion, see Local Rule 7.1(b)(1); and (2) either notice to the adverse party or certification to support an ex parte order, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1); see also DuBois v. Alves, 2022 WL 4376041, at *5 (D. Mass. Aug. 22, 2022) (denying motion in part due to the failure to comply with Local Rules or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65). However, the Court also notes that, even assuming Petitioner had procedurally complied, Petitioner’s motion is moot because the only emergency relief Petitioner sought—a TRO “prohibiting Respondents from transferring Petitioner out of Plymouth County Correctional Facility or the District of Massachusetts,” Dkt. 1 at 9—has already been granted by the Court’s Order, Dkt. 4. As such, Petitioners’ request for an emergency temporary restraining order is DENIED without prejudice. (MBM) (Entered: 06/05/2026)

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. “Respondents submit that the legal issues presented in this Petition are similar to those recently addressed by this Court in Martinez v. Hyde, [792 F. Supp. 3d 211] (D. Mass. July 24, 2025), and Romero v. Hyde, [795 f. Supp. 3d 271] (D. Mass. August 19, 2025).” Dkt. 8 at 1. Accordingly, Petitioner is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. s. 1226(a) (“section 1226”) and, therefore, entitled to a bond hearing to consider the merits of his relief. Romero, 795 F. Supp. 3d at 286–88; see also Dkt. 8 -2 (Warrant for Arrest of Alien pursuant to section 1226). Accordingly, Respondents shall release Petitioner by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 15, 2026, unless, before that time, he is provided a bond hearing under section 1226(a). Any request for fees should be filed within the deadlines set by the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. s. 2412. (MBM) (Entered: 06/08/2026)
