ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE and Electronic Service upon the US Attorney's Office re 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed by R.P.L. The United States Attorney, as attorney for Respondents, is directed to show cause by 6:00 p.m. on December 18, 2025, in writing, why the petition should not be granted, and why Respondents should not be ordered to immediately release Petitioner from detention. Counsel for Respondents must serve a copy of the response on Petitioner, with proof of such service to the Clerk of this Court. The government is directed to file, under seal if necessary, any records, documents, or other information in Petitioner's immigration file, as well as any underlying records relied upon in its submission not yet filed by Petitioner, and records indicating whether any property was seized from Petitioner at the time of arrest. Petitioner is directed to file his reply, if any, by 6:00 p.m. on December 19, 2025, with proof of service to the Clerk of Court. Service of a copy of this order, together with a copy of the complaint, will be made by the Clerk of this Court through the electronic case filing system to the United States Attorney and by mailing a copy of this order to Petitioner.To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise. See, e.g., Kuprashvili v. Flanagan, No. 25-cv-5268, 2025 WL 2382059 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2025) (collecting cases staying removal to maintain the status quo). Additionally, in light of Petitioner's interest in participating in further proceedings before this Court and maintaining adequate access to legal counsel throughout these proceedings, Petitioner shall not be transferred to a facility outside of this District. See Samb v. Joyce, No. 25-cv-6373 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 4, 2025), ECF No. 3. Ordered by Judge Hector Gonzalez on 12/15/2025. (GEM)
