MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on June 12, 2026: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") (ECF No. 2 ). Due to the urgent nature of the requested relief, the Court intends to rule directly on the Habeas Petition with the understanding that the Court will also consider arguments made in support of the Motion for TRO. Respondents shall file a response to the Habeas Petition by June 15, 2026. Any opposition must include Petitioner's full Form I-213, any orders of release or detention, any custody warrants or notices, and any other documents and portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the issues presented. Failure to timely respond will be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). The matter is not set for hearing at this time. Pending the Court's ruling on the Habeas Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction.").

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that this action 1:26-cv-04460-TLN-SCR is related to Case No. 2:26-cv-01242-JLT-SAB because both cases involve overlapping parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Thus, the Court ORDERS that Case No. 1:26-cv-04460-TLN-SCR is reassigned to U.S District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston and Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone. All future filings shall reflect the judge reassignments signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on June 30, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 06/30/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2). Petitioner (A File #: 216-632-464) asserts that he has been detained since October 24, 2025. (Doc. 1 at 2.) He does not explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b).The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 21 days. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting 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 circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on July 7, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 07/07/2026)
