MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley on 9/25/2026: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ("the Petition") and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Court intends to rule directly on the Petition, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made in support of the motion. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2). Within 2 court days, Respondents shall answer the Petition. Any response must include Petitioner's Form I-213 for each immigration encounter; any orders of release, detention, or bond; any custody determinations, warrants, or notices; and any other portions of Petitioner's A-File relevant to the determination of the issues presented in the Petition. Failure to timely respond shall be construed as a non-opposition. See L.R. 230(c). Parties are reminded of their obligations under Local Rule 140 to redact personally identifiable information. Pending the Court's ruling on the Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). However, this Order does not prohibit the temporary transfer of Petitioner outside of the District for urgent medical care, though Petitioner shall be returned to the District upon the conclusion of such care, and Respondents shall notify this Court within a reasonable time of any such transfer.
