ORDER denying 2 Motion for TRO Petitioner asks the Court to issue a temporary restraining order barring Respondents from transferring him or removing him from the United States pending the disposition of his habeas corpus petition. The Court is compelled to deny the requested TRO because it lacks jurisdiction to enjoin his transfer or removal. The place of an alien's detention is left to the discretion of the Attorney General and courts lack jurisdiction to enjoin a detainee's transfer. See Calla-Collado v. Attorney General of the US, 663 F.3d 680, 685 (3d Cir. 2011). Further, under 8 USC 1252(g) no court shall have jurisdiction to hear any cause or claim by or on behalf of any alien arising from the decision or action of the Attorney General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders against any alien under this chapter. Courts, including the Third Circuit, have interpreted the jurisdictional bar to review of issues relating to removability broadly. See Khalil v. Persistent of the United States, Nos. 25-2162 & 25-2357 (3d. Cir. Jan. 15, 2026). This Court lacks, therefore, the authority under the INA to issue a TRO barring removal. The Motion for TRO is denied. Signed by Judge William S. Stickman on 7/7/26. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (Stickman, William) (Entered: 07/07/2026)
