MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) 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). Based on the current record, it appears Petitioner (A File #: 244-617-886) is likely to succeed on at least one of his claims and that some form of immediate relief may be appropriate. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than July 13, 2026, why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Any response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents, including available documentation related to any asserted violations of release conditions. Petitioner may file a reply no later than July 20, 2026. The Court further directs the parties to indicate on or before their respective filing deadlines (1) whether they are requesting a hearing; (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing; and (3) whether they request additional briefing on the merits of the petition. Depending on the content of the filings, the Court may set a hearing or may rule on the papers.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 exigent 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 preliminary relief.The Clerk of the Court is to notify the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California of this filing, by providing a Notice of Electronic Filing to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on July 6, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 07/06/2026)

RESPONSE by Tonya Andrews, Todd Blanche, ICE/ERO, Markwayne Mullin, David Venturella to 8 Minute Order,,,,,,,,, 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. (Andrews, Anthony) (Entered: 07/13/2026)

Jul 15, 2026

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) Currently pending in this matter is Petitioner's habeas corpus petition, (Doc. 1), and motion for temporary restraining order, (Doc. 2). On July 13, 2026, Respondents informed the Court that Petitioner had been granted voluntary departure, with an administrative expiration date of July 17, 2026. (Doc. 9 at 27.) Among other things, if Petitioner does not voluntarily depart by that deadline, the voluntary departure order will automatically convert to an administratively final order of removal. As Respondents point out, this Court's order barring Respondents from removing Petitioner precludes Respondents from positioning Petitioner for voluntary removal. ( See Doc. 8.) The Court stands ready to lift its no transfer order should Petitioner wish to withdraw his habeas petition. Thus, if Petitioner wishes to proceed with voluntary departure, he shall respond to this order immediately indicating as much, and the Court will thereafter lift the no transfer order. Otherwise, the Court will proceed to rule on the merits of Petitioner's habeas petition. The Clerk of Court is directed to serve a copy of this Minute Order on Petitioner. Given the timeline discussed above, Counsel for Respondents is directed to take all available steps to expedite delivery of this order to Petitioner and SHALL within one day of the date of this order file a declaration indicating that the order has been delivered signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on July 15, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 07/15/2026)

Jul 28, 2026

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed Petitioner's response indicating that he does not wish to proceed with voluntary departure and that he seeks to proceed on the merits of his habeas petition. (Doc. 12.) The Court has also reviewed Respondent's response and attached exhibits. (Doc. 9.) The attached order of the immigration judge granting voluntary departure indicates that if Petitioner fails to voluntarily depart by July 17, 2026, he will instead be subject to an order of removal pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1240.26(d), ( see Doc. 9 at 27). Because that deadline has passed, the Court requires additional information to determine whether Petitioner is now subject to a final order of removal, which may shift the detention authority in this case. Thus, within 7 days of the date of this Minute Order, Respondents SHALL provide the Court with an update indicating whether Petitioner is now subject to a final order of removal, including the status of any appeals or other requests for relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on July 28, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 07/28/2026)
