EO: The court has received and reviewed Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, Dkt. No. 1 . The court intends to rule on the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."). On or before June 11, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED to answer in writing the following three questions: 1. Is Petitioner subject to a final order of removal? 2. Is Petitioner subject to mandatory detention pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) or any provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act other than 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)? 3. Was Petitioner ever previously detained and released by immigration authorities? If the answer to this question is yes, does Respondent believe that there is any factual or legal basis to distinguish this case from the many prior cases in which district judges have addressed this issue in a variety of contexts? See, e.g., Maxo Ben G. v. Warden of Mesa Verde Det. Facility, No. 1:26-cv-03776-MWJS, 2026 WL 1457554 (E.D. Cal. May 21, 2026); Kallebe C.L. v. Warden, Cal. City Corr. Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-03651-MWJS, 2026 WL 1374754 (E.D. Cal. May 14, 2026); A.J.S.M.P. v. Mullin, No. 1:26-cv-03163-MWJS, 2026 WL 1190220 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 29, 2026); Sergio D.L.S. v. Warden, Cal. City Corr. Ctr., No. 1:26-cv-02821-MWJS, 2026 WL 1049713 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 17, 2026). Petitioner may file a reply on or before June 15, 2026. This matter is not set for a hearing though the court may set one should it later be determined that a hearing is necessary. And given the court's ongoing consideration of the petition, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that Respondents shall not transfer or otherwise take Petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). IT IS SO ORDERED. (JUDGE MICAH W. J. SMITH) (ab) (Entered: 06/09/2026)
