DHS, No. 18 C 3757 (N.D. Ill) (Dkt. 214) (addressing a consent decree) has any effect on Petitioner's habeas corpus case. Under the authority provided by the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Court orders the Government not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States pending further order.

We had the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to the applicants and to preserve our jurisdiction over the matter."); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) ("The District Court had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief.")
