ORDER granting 3 Motion for TRO: On the Government's consent, the present petition (and therefore the TRO) is GRANTED. Petitioner is ORDERED released as soon as feasible. The Government is aware of its clients' obligations to abide by all applicable law and regulations, including, but not limited to, Petitioner's right to be given meaningful notice and an opportunity to be heard on any identified proposed third country of removal. The Court will hold the conference as scheduled today to discuss when Petitioner's transfer back to New York is able to occur in light of his medical condition and the Government's representations that it may be medically necessary for Petitioner to remain at the facility in Louisiana for some period of time before he can be safely transported.

ORDER As discussed on the record at the conference on August 27, 2026, Respondents are hereby ORDERED to return Petitioner to New York City within the next 48 hours (i.e. by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 29, 2026). Because Petitioner has been ordered released, he should not be in custody and must be transported (or provided with suitable transportation at Government expense) in a NON-CUSTODIAL MANNER (in other words, he is not to be shackled or restrained in any way, as he is not in lawful custody and no showing whatsoever has been made that he presents any danger to the public or to Respondents' employees, or is a risk of flight). Counsel for the Government shall file a letter by Monday, August 31, 2026, confirming compliance with this Order. (HEREBY ORDERED by Judge Margaret M. Garnett) (Text Only Order) (Garnett, Margaret) (Entered: 08/27/2026)
