ORDER: The Clerk is directed to transfer this case to the Western District of Pennsylvania where, according to the Petition, the Petitioner is currently detained and was detained at the time of filing. (Pet. filed June 22, 2026, Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 7); see Trump v. J.G.G., 604 U.S. 670, 672 (2025) ("The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia."); 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The case is to be transferred immediately and the waiting period under Local Civil Rule 83.1 is waived. Petitioner's removal is enjoined until June 24, 2026 at 5:00 P.M., so that counsel may seek any appropriate emergency relief in federal court in Pennsylvania. See, e.g., Saamishvili v. Flanagan, No. 25-CV-9181, 2025 WL 3090134, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 5, 2025) (transferring a petition to the Eastern District of New York and enjoining the government from removing petitioner from that district to ensure that petitioner has an opportunity to have their petition considered) (citing Khalil v. Joyce, 771 F. Supp. 3d 268, 291 (S.D.N.Y. 2025) ("[T]o ensure that Khalil gets an opportunity to have his Petition and these motions considered by a court in the normal course—and to preserve the status quo—the Court's March 10, 2025 Order barring the Government from removing him . . . shall similarly remain in effect unless and until the transferee court orders otherwise."). Counsel for the Government is directed to take necessary steps to communicate this order to appropriate Government counsel in Pennsylvania. So Ordered by Judge Sanket J. Bulsara on 6/22/2026. (RB)
