Jun 26, 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 asserts that he has been detained since January 2026. (Doc. 1 at 3.) 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 June 26, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 06/26/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Guy Castillo on 8/4/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court is in receipt of Respondents' Motion to Dismiss, in which Respondents contend that "the 90 day removal period commenced on June 2, 2026, when the IJ ordered Petitioner removed, notwithstanding his administrative appeal, which does not negate the existence of a final order for purposes of § 1231." (Doc. 8 at 2). However, section 1231(a)(2) mandates detention for the 90-day removal period, which begins, as relevant here, "[t]he date the order of removal becomes administratively final." 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a). And Respondents' do not contest that there is a pending appeal of the order of removal to the Board of Immigration Appeals. (Id. ("Petitioner filed a Notice of Appeal with the BIA on June 22, 2026, where his appeal remains pending.")). Therefore, by no later than August 6, 2026, Respondents are hereby ORDERED to clarify the detention authority under which they claim to detain Petitioner, and, if Respondents seek to rely on a different authority than section 1231(a)(2), Respondents are FURTHER ORDERED to show cause why Petitioner's petition should not be granted.
