MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 06/08/2026. Petitioner, Michel Gispert Benitez (A# 203-754-003), a self-represented immigration detainee, filed petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 1. Based on the length of time in which petitioner has been in immigration detention, the court hereby authorizes petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the filing fee in this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914. Because petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violations are proved, respondents are directed to show cause why the writ should not be granted by filing response within 14 days from the date of this order. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. The response shall include petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants, notices, or decisions, and if respondents dispute any factual representations in the operative petition, any and all documents necessary to support their view of the facts. Petitioner's reply, if any, is due within 7 days of being served a copy of the respondents' response. Respondents shall NOT TRANSFER petitioner outside of this judicial district, pending further order of the court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (establishing the All Writs Act which empowers the federal courts to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions...."); see also F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (emphasizing that federal courts have the power to "to preserve the court's jurisdiction or maintain the status quo by injunction pending review of an agency's action").
