ORDER FOR SERVICE-- It is further ORDERED that Respondents must file a response to the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) within 7 days of electronic service. The Court construes the Petition as raising, at least in part, a Fifth Amendment Due Process claim which Respondents should address. See, e.g., Bonilla Chicas v. Warden, 821 F. Supp. 3d 782, 79293 (S.D. Tex. Feb. 20, 2026); Marceau v. Noem, No. 26-CV-237-KC, 2026 WL 368953, at *1 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 9, 2026). The response must identify all pertinent factual and procedural background information, including: (a) the date Petitioner entered the United States; (b) whether Petitioner was previously apprehended and then released by immigration authorities; and (c) the status of Petitioners immigration and/or removal proceedings. Petitioner may file a reply within 7 days thereafter. Signed by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (bt) (Entered: 09/29/2026)

Order on Motion for TRO

Sep 29, 2026

Text Order DENYING 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Because the injunctive relief Petitioner now seeks on a preliminary and ex parte basis is identical to the ultimate relief sought on the merits of this already-expedited habeas proceeding, the Motion is DENIED. The Court will resolve Petitioners request for relief by promptly ruling on the merits of the writ itself. See Garcia-Aleman v. Thompson, No. 25-CV-886-OLG, Dkt. No. 20 (W.D. Tex. Oct. 30, 2025) (collecting cases). Entered by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (vc)
