ORDER: Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The Court, having examined the petition in this action, hereby ORDERS that: (i) On or before December 12, 2025, the Government shall file a letter with the following information: a. Petitioner's A-number and current place of detention; b. The statutory provision(s) under which Respondents assert the authority to detain Petitioner; c. A copy of any final order of removal; d. Any information regarding the procedural posture of any pending Department of Homeland Security or Executive Office for Immigration Review proceedings; and e. An indication of whether this case is distinguishable from previous cases decided by this Court. See, e.g., Ortiz-Lopez v. Francis, No. 25 Civ. 7985 (KPF); Villarreal Obregon v. Francis, No. 25 Civ. 9465 (KPF). (ii) On or before December 15, 2025, the Government shall file an opposition as to why this petition for a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. (iii) Petitioner shall have the opportunity to reply on or before December 22, 2025. (iv) The parties shall appear for a conference regarding the petition on December 29, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom 618 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, New York. Respondents shall produce Petitioner at this hearing. (v) To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States without an order by this Court allowing such removal. See, e.g., M.K. v. Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 1935 (JMF), 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) ("To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed unless and until the Court orders otherwise." (emphasis omitted)); Garcia-Izquierdo v. Gartner, No. 4 Civ. 7377 (RCC), 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 17, 2004) ("Under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Court may order that a petitioner's deportation be stayed when a stay is necessary to preserve the Court's jurisdiction of the case."). (vi) Moreover, to facilitate resolution of the petition, Petitioner shall not be transferred, except to a facility within this District, the Eastern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See Samb v. Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 6373 (DEH) (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 4, 2025) (Dkt. #3 at 2) (collecting cases in support of enjoining transfer of petitioner outside of the New York City area). Because this case involves an alien detainee, the Clerk of Court is directed to change the NOS to 463 in order to keep the case entries restricted. (Responses due by 12/15/2025, Replies due by 12/22/2025., Status Conference set for 12/29/2025 at 11:00 AM in Courtroom 618, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Katherine Polk Failla.)
