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. 4). Based on the current record, it appears Petitioner (A File #: 216-445-992) is likely to succeed on at least one of his claims and that some form of immediate relief may be appropriate. Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ordered to show cause in writing no later than October 13, 2026, why the Court should not grant Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. Any response SHALL provide the Court with copies of referenced/relevant portions of Petitioner's A-File (including the I-213) and other supporting documents, including available documentation related to any asserted violations of release conditions. Petitioner may file a reply no later than October 20, 2026. The Court further directs the parties to indicate on or before their respective filing deadlines (1) whether they are requesting a hearing; (2) whether they agree to convert the request for a TRO into a preliminary injunction without further briefing; and (3) whether they request additional briefing on the merits of the petition. 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, to preserve the Court's jurisdiction and to preserve Petitioner's access to the Court and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief. 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. If this occurs, Respondents SHALL ensure that Petitioner receives communications from the Court without delay.The Clerk of the Court is to notify the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California of this filing, by providing a Notice of Electronic Filing to usacae.ecf2241-imm@usdoj.gov. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on October 6, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 10/06/2026)
