This order is without prejudice to Petitioner filing a renewed motion if there are emergent circumstances not discussed in the current TRO request.Additionally, by 8/7/2026, Respondents shall file a supplemental brief on (1) the issue of whether Petitioner's prolonged detention claim was presented and decided in his first petition for habeas relief, and (2) the merits of Petitioner's prolonged detention claim, in the alternative. The response should attach the petition filed in Femba v. Bondi et al., No. 2:26-cv-00875-MTL-JFM (D. Ariz. Mar. 23, 2026). Petitioner may file a reply by 8/13/2026.
