ORDER ISSUING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION PURSUANT TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION by Judge Cynthia Valenzuela: On 1/9/2026, the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") 10 . The TRO ordered Respondents to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue by 1/16/2026, and noted that Respondents' failure to do so would "be deemed as consent to the granting of a Preliminary Injunction." Respondents did not file a response to the order to sho w cause by the 1/16/2026 deadline. Accordingly, the Court issues a Preliminary Injunction and ORDERS as follows: (1) Respondents are ordered to immediately release Petitioner from custody, subject to the conditions of his prior order of supervision, and are enjoined from re-detaining Petitioner without compliance with 8 U.S.C. section 241.4(1) and 8 U.S.C. section 241.13(i); (2) To preserve the Court's jurisdiction, respondents are enjoined from transferring, relocating, or removing Petitioner outside of the Central District of California pending final resolution of this case or further order of the Court, unless executing a final order of removal issued against Petitioner.
