ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND GIVING NOTICE OF RIGHT TO CONSENT the Court ORDERS: Respondents shall file a return to the habeas petition no later than December 5, 2025, from entry of this Order. Petitioners traverse shall be due by December 8, 2025. The Clerk shall note the matter for December 8, 2025, as ready for the Courts consideration. Respondents shall provide Petitioner and Petitioners counsel in this habeas action at least 48 hours notice (or 72 hours notice if the period extends into the weekend) prior to any action to move or transfer Petitioner from the Northwest Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center or to remove him from the United States.

The Clerk is directed to serve this habeas corpus petition, Dkt. 2, upon respondents and shall immediately email a copy of this order to usawaw@habeas@usdoj.gov. Counsel for the parties are directed to indicate whether they consent or decline consent by no later than December 1, 2025, by emailing Deputy Gayle Riekena at gayle_riekena@wawd.uscourts.gov. Please Note: Forms must not be electronically filed with the Court. Signed by Judge Theresa L Fricke. (ZMG) Modified on 11/21/2025 (ZMG). (Entered: 11/21/2025)
