ORDER. Petitioner Lasaphangthong's request for a TRO, Dkt. No. 4, is denied. The jurisdiction-stripping provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 1252(g), does not apply because Lasaphangthong challenges the manner in which he was re-detained, not the government's discretion to execute his removal order. See Reno v. Am.-Arab Anti-Discrimination Comm., 525 U.S. 471, 487 (1999) (explaining its narrow reading of Section 1252(g) as a discretion-protecting provision); Ibarra-Perez v. United States, 154 F.4th 989, 996 (9th Cir. 2025) (same). Even so, the TRO must be denied because Lasaphangthong has not demonstrated that he is "likely to succeed on the merits." Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008); see also Garcia v. Google, Inc., 786 F.3d 733, 740 (9th Cir. 2015) ("The first factor under Winter is the most important -- likely success on the merits."). The government has fulfilled its obligations under 8 CFR Section 241.13(i)(3) to notify Lasaphangthong of "the reasons for revocation of his or her release" and provide an "opportunity to respond to the reasons for revocation." § 241.13(i)(3). A question of fairness could be raised about the government's failure to provide Lasaphangthong's travel document when he was initially seized, see Dkt. No. 1-1 ¶ 15, but the record does not indicate Section 241.13 was violated. Lasaphangthong is unlikely to prevail under Zadvydas v. Davis because the travel document to Laos signals a "significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future." Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 701 (2001). The parties are directed to jointly propose by October 13, 2026, a briefing schedule on the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Signed by Judge James Donato on 9/28/2026.
