ORDER TO ANSWER/SHOW CAUSE AND ENJOINING TRANSFER by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland: The USAO shall ANSWER the Petition and any pending motions for release within 10 business days and show cause why relief should not be granted, unless the Court sets a separate deadline/hearing to address emergency relief. The USAO's answer MUST specify whether the Court has already ruled on the legal issue(s) in this case and whether the holding in Santillan Quiroz v. Mullin, No. 26-6019, 2026 WL 1876709, (10th Cir. June 30, 2026) or Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001) requires relief. The Government is prohibited from transferring or removing Petitioner from the District of New Mexico while this case remains pending, absent a final order of removal.
