ORDER denying 2 "Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus." Petitioner asks the Court to enjoin Respondents from removing him from the United States and from transferring him out of the Western District of Washington while his habeas petition is pending. Dkt. No. 2 at 5. The Court's scheduling order, Dkt. No. 4, largely moots 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. Should Respondents indicate an intent to imminently transfer Petitioner (filed on the docket as required in the Scheduling Order), Petitioner may move for emergency relief as needed. Signed by Judge Lauren King.(King, Lauren) Modified on 10/1/2026-NEF regenerated to AUSA (ELS). (Entered: 10/01/2026)
