MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and Request for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief. ECF No. 1 . In the Petition, Petitioner requests that the Court "[i]ssue a writ of habeas corpus ordering Petitioner's immediate release from DHS/ICE custody on reasonable conditions of supervision," or, "[i]n the alternative, order the Immigration Court to conduct a bond hearing... within seven (7) days." Id. at 9. Having reviewed the Petition, the Court ORDERS Petitioner to, no later than January 7, 2026, (1) serve Respondents with copies of the Petition and accompanying papers, along with a copy of this Order, by e-mail and by overnight mail, and (2) promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter notices of appearance. Within seven calendar days of service, Respondents are ORDERED TO RESPOND to the Petition and are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the Petition should not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v. Collins, No. 1:25-cv-00786-ADA-SH, 2025 WL 1954064, at *1 (W.D. Tex. July 7, 2025) (explaining that while § 2243 refers to a three day deadline, this requirement is "subordinate to the district court's authority to set deadlines" itself, and granting respondents a fourteen day deadline to respond in order to "give [r]espondents adequate time to brief the issues" (quotations omitted)). Pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondents SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order. See also Vizguerra-Ramirez v. Choate, et. al, Case No. 1:25-cv-881, D. Colo., ECF No. 11 at 45 (collecting cases); F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603 (1966); Local 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n v. New York Shipping Assn, 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992). Additionally, the Court urges the parties to review both the Local Rules of Practice and this Court's Uniform Civil Practice Standards and Standing Orders which can be found here. The parties' future filings shall be made in Arial 12-point font. By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 1/5/2026. Text Only Entry (cnsja, ) (Entered: 01/05/2026)
