MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 12/19/2025: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (TRO). (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents shall file any opposition to Petitioner's Motion for TRO within five (5) court days of the date of this Order. Petitioner may file a reply, if any, within three (3) court days of the date of Respondents' opposition. The parties shall indicate in their briefing: (1) whether they are amenable to converting the motion for temporary restraining order into a motion for preliminary injunction and (2) whether they request a hearing on the motion. In the meantime, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction."). TODAY, Petitioner's counsel shall serve a copy of this minute order and all documents filed in this case to date on the U.S. Attorney's Office via email at usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov.

MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on April 15, 2026: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. (ECF No. 2 .) Respondents filed an opposition. (ECF No. 5 .) Petitioner filed a reply. (ECF No. 6 .) The Court has reviewed the parties' papers and finds Petitioner has not carried his burden to show a likelihood of success on his claims that Respondents violated the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause. See Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008) (standard for temporary restraining order). Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, thus, he is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1231. (ECF No. 5 at 3.) It appears Petitioner's removal is significantly likely and this Court's Order not to transfer Petitioner out of this district is the only impediment to Petitioner's removal as Petitioner has not filed an emergency stay of the removal order with the Board of Immigration Appeals. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion for TRO is DENIED. The Court will rule on the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("the Petition"). Respondents may file a response by May 15, 2026. Petitioner may file a reply by June 12, 2026. If the parties do not timely file, this Court will assume they rest on the record. This Court's Order not to transfer Petitioner out of the district remains intact pending this Court's order on the Petition. SO ORDERED. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk MDK) (Entered: 04/15/2026)
