MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that this action (1:26-cv-06111-VC) is related to Case No. 1:26-cv-03001-JLT-SAB because both cases involve overlapping parties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Thus, the Court ORDERS that Case 1:26-cv-06111-VC is reassigned to U.S District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston and Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone. All future filings shall reflect the judge reassignments signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on August 6, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 08/06/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 3). Petitioner (A File #: 243-146-034) asserts that he has been detained since February 1, 2026, (Doc. 1 at 2). He does not explain his delay in seeking his request for a temporary restraining order nor why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as an emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b).The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 21 days. The response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File (including the I-213) and other supporting documents, including available documentation related to any asserted violations of release conditions. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief.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, to preserve the Court's jurisdiction and to preserve Petitioner's access to the Court and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on August 10, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 08/10/2026)
