MINUTE ORDER by Magistrate Judge Susan Prose on July 20, 2026. This matter is before the court on Petitioner Vinod Kumars "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus" (ECF No. 1 ). Petitioner shall, by overnight mail and email, serve Respondents with a copy of the Petition and this Order on or before July 23, 2026. Petitioner shall file proof of service. Within seven days of service, respondents shall show cause why the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The writ, or order to show cause shall be directed to the person having custody of the person detained. It shall be returned within three days unless for good cause additional time, not exceeding twenty days, is allowed."). In doing so, Respondents are asked to address whether the issues presented here are materially different from the issues the Tenth Circuit has resolved in its prior ruling in Santillan Quiroz v. Mullin, No. 26-6019, __ F.4th__ (10th Cir. 2026). Petitioner may file a reply within seven days of Respondents filing their response. In addition, the Supreme Court has recognized that the express authority granted by the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, empowers lower courts, in limited circumstances, to issue temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect the status quo or their own jurisdiction. See FTC v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603, 608 (1966). "Unless appropriately confined by Congress, a federal court may avail itself of all auxiliary writs as aids in the performance of its duties, when the use of such historic aids is calculated in its sound judgment to achieve the ends of justice entrusted to it." United States v. N.Y. Tel. Co., 434 U.S. 159, 17273 (1977) (quotation omitted). Pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado into the jurisdiction of any other federal district court within the United States unless or until this court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order. See Vizguerra-Ramirez v. Choate, No. 25-cv-00881-NYW, ECF No. 11 at 45 (D. Colo. Mar. 21, 2025) (collecting cases); Vazquez v. Baltazar, No. 25-cv-03049-GPG-TPO, ECF No. 11 (D. Colo. Oct. 2, 2025); Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. at 603; Local 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n v. N.Y. Shipping Ass'n, 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992). It is further ORDERED that the parties shall file a completed Magistrate Judge consent form (ECF No. 3 ) no less than seven days from the date of this Order.

ORDER. For the foregoing reasons, the July 20, 2026 Minute Order (D. 4 ) is VACATED to the extent that it requires Respondents show cause. Petitioner's Petition (D. 1 ) is GRANTED IN PART, to the extent Petitioner seeks a bond hearing at which Respondents bear the burden of proof of showing Petitioner's continued detention is proper and was proper at the time of Petitioner's arrest. Respondents shall provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under § 1226(a) within SEVEN DAYS of receiving notice of this Order and Respondents have the responsibility to ensure that the government applies those burdens and provides a sufficient record for review. Additionally, Respondents SHALL notify Petitioner and any counsel who has entered an appearance in this action of the date, time, and place of the hearing no less than 24 hours prior to the beginning of the hearing. Respondents are ENJOINED from denying bond to Petitioner on the basis that Petitioner is detained pursuant to § 1225(b)(2)(A). Respondents are further ORDERED to file a status report within FIVE DAYS of Petitioner's bond hearing, stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if Petitioner's request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial. Such status update shall also include as an attachment any warrant justifying Petitioner's detention at the time he was detained. By District Judge Gordon P Gallagher on 7/28/2026.
