MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 10/06/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 2 motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) (Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing.); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 (The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require.); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). Respondents shall file a response to the petition by October 12, 2026. The response shall include a copy of all referenced/relevant documents from petitioner's A-file, including any Form I-200, Warrant for Arrest of Alien and Form I-213, Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien. Petitioner may file a reply by October 16, 2026. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (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"). 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. Respondents shall notify the Court of any such transfer out of the district. (Deputy Clerk VMG) (Entered: 10/06/2026)
