Moreover, to preserve counsel's access to Petitioner and facilitate resolution of the Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner 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, e.g., Perez y Perez v. Noem, No. 25-CV-4828, 2025 WL 1908284, at *2-3 (S.D.N.Y.
