MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim on 12/18/2025: Respondents did not timely respond to the Courts 12/17/2025 Minute Order (ECF No. 12), and submitted an explanation for Respondents delay (ECF No. 14), which the Court accepts. Respondents counsel is directed to take measures to ensure counsel receives prompt notice of the Courts orders, which are filed and served through the CM/ECF system, and is critical in cases like this where time sensitive motions are filed such as TRO motions. In addition, Respondents did not submit any documents with their Opposition (ECF No. 11). By 5:00 pm on 12/18/2025, Respondents are ORDERED to file copies of all portions of Petitioner's A-File and other supporting documents referenced in or related to Respondents Opposition (ECF No. 11), including copies of all orders of release and all detention orders. For example, Respondents state that Petitioner was released on 4/8/2022, Petitioner appeared at several check-ins with ICE, and Petitioner was detained on 9/10/2025, but fail to provide documentation of these facts, which are relevant to the Courts determination of the pending motion (e.g., Respondents did not submit ICE Form 1-220A Order of Release on Recognizance; Form I-213 Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien and Form I-831 Continuation Page). Respondents must file complete documents, including all pages of Petitioners ICE Form 1-220A Order of Release on Recognizance, which includes Continuation Pages of Personal Report Record, related to Respondents statements regarding Petitioners several more check-ins with the ICE Field Office (ECF No. 11 at 2). Respondents may not re-file versions or portions of these documents based on Petitioners submissions as these may be incomplete or not fully legible (see, e.g., Pet. Mot., Exh. 3 (ECF NO. 2-2 at 15-16) & Exh. 5 (ECF No. 2-2 at 21-23) Petitioners ICE Form 1-220A Order of Release). Respondents may file an optional supplemental opposition limited to 5 pages and limited to the documents submitted. Any such optional supplemental opposition must be filed together with Respondents documents.Petitioner may file an optional sur-reply limited to 5 pages and limited to responding to Respondents documents and supplemental opposition. Any such sur-reply must be filed by 5:00pm on 12/19/2025. (Text Only Entry). (Deputy Clerk de1) (Entered: 12/18/2025)
