MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1 ) and the related request for emergency injunctive relief (Doc. 2 ). Based on the record filed thus far, it appears Petitioner is raising a due process claim that has been resolved by the partial final judgment entered December 18, 2025, in Bautista, et al. v. Noem, No. 5:25-CV-01873-SSS-BFM, 2025 WL 3678485, at *1 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 2025); see also Bautista v. Santacruz, No. 5:25-CV-01873-SSS-BFM, 2025 WL 3289861, at *11 (C.D. Cal. Nov. 20, 2025); Bautista v. Santacruz, No. 5:25-CV-01873-SSS-BFM, 2025 WL 3288403 (C.D. Cal. Nov. 25, 2025). Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than December 30, 2025 why the Court should not grant Petitioners motion for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner may file a reply no later than January 5, 2026. The Court further directs the parties to indicate on or before their respective filing deadlines (1) whether they are requesting a hearing; and (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing. Depending on the content of the filings, the Court may set a hearing or may rule on the papers.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (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"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief.No later than December 22, 2025, to the extent not already accomplished, Petitioners counsel is directed: (1) to serve Respondents with a copy of the Petition, the motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail to all appropriate recipients including the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, with a copy to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov, and by overnight mail; and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on December 22, 2025. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 12/22/2025)
