Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 1/23/2026: Court convened for hearing on the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) filed by Petitioner 4 on January 4, 2026. Previously, the Court denied the Motion in part 7 and ordered briefing. The TRO was extended to February 2, 2026, and a hearing was set for today 13 . The Parties presented their cases on whether the District Court had jurisdiction to rule on the Department of Homeland Security's policy regarding final orders of removal as they pertain to aliens who are ordered removed to third countries. The Court found that it does not have jurisdiction over such questions and vacated its Order 7, denied Petitioner's [TRO], and denied Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 1 . Court adjourned. (Court Reporter: Melissa Moore) (dlg) (Entered: 01/23/2026)
