ORDER denying 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Petitioner asks the Court to (1) enjoin Respondents from removing him from the United States or transferring him out of this District "pending further order of the Court"; and (2) "afford Petitioner confidential and timely access to undersigned counsel at NWIPC pending further order of the Court." Dkt. No. 2 at 1-2. The Court's scheduling order, Dkt. No. 3, largely moots the former part of this request, as the order requires Respondents to provide Petitioner "at least 48 hours' notice (or 72 hours' notice if the period extends into a weekend, holiday, or date the Court is closed) prior to any action to move or transfer any Petitioner(s) from the Western District of Washington or to remove them from the United States." Id. at 2. Furthermore, because the above relief "is the same relief ultimately sought by his habeas petition, the Court concludes that it falls outside the limited purpose of a TRO and should instead be decided either after a preliminary injunction hearing or through regular adjudication of the habeas petition itself." Nguyen v. Scott, No. 2:25-CV-01398, 2025 WL 2165995, at *7 (W.D. Wash. July 30, 2025); see also Tang v. Bondi, No. 2:25-CV-01473-RAJ-TLF, 2025 WL 2979938, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Sept. 3, 2025). Should Respondents indicate an intent to imminently transfer Petitioner, Petitioner may move for emergency relief as needed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Court clarifies that Respondents shall not remove or transfer Petitioner without providing the required advance notice and filing such notice on the docket.
