SCHEDULING ORDER In order to preserve the Courts jurisdiction pending final disposition of the Petition, respondents are ENJOINED from moving petitioner to a location outside the Eastern District of New York, the Southern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. Respondents shall submit a letter, by Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., stating (1) whether they continue to hold petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), as was argued in petitioners prior habeas case, see Alvarado Quezada v. Ladeon Francis, 26 Civ. 387 (S.D.N.Y., February 11, 2026), ECF No. 8, and (2) whether the Second Circuits decision in Barbosa Da Cunha v. Freden, No. 25-3141 (2d Cir. Apr. 28, 2026) controls, or whether otherwise there is any material basis to distinguish the instant case from this Courts prior decisions in Y- C- v. Genalo, No. 25-cv-06558, 2025 WL 3653496 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 17, 2025), Crespo Tacuri v. Genalo, No. 25-cv-06896, 2026 WL 35569 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 6, 2026), Terrero v. Tsoukaris, No. 26-cv-00869, 2026 WL 607917 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 4, 2026), Meza v. Francis, No. 26-cv-02722, 2026 WL 1734903 (E.D.N.Y. June 16, 2026), or any other decision of this Court. If respondents take the position that the present case is controlled by Barbosa Da Cunha and/or is not materially different from one or more of the Courts prior decisions, respondents shall further state whether respondents consent to the issuance of the writ, and petitioner's immediate release, subject to preservation of respondents arguments for appeal.
