PAPERLESS ORDER CONSOLIDATING CASES. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon a sua sponte review of the record. Rule 42(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows the Court to consolidate actions that have common questions of law or fact. Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a). Here, the Court finds that Case Nos. 1:26-cv-21822-KMM and 1:26-cv-22429-KMM involve common questions of law and fact, such that consolidation is appropriate. Accordingly, Case No. 1:26-cv-21822-KMM is hereby CONSOLIDATED with Case No. 1:26-cv-22429-KMM for all purposes, including trial. The Clerk of the Court is INSTRUCTED to administratively CLOSE Case No. 1:26-cv-21822-KMM. All future filings MUST be made only in the lead case, Case No. 1:26-cv-22429-KMM. All pending motions, if any, in Case No. 1:26-cv-21822-KMM are DENIED AS MOOT except the Petition (ECF No. 1), which remains operative in the lead case. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to refile Petitioner Jerome Toussaint's Petition (ECF No. 1) in the lead case, as he is pro se. The Order to Show Cause deadlines shall be as follows: (1) Respondents shall file one (1) consolidated response addressing each Petitioner on or before April 14, 2026; (2) each Petitioner shall be allowed to file a Reply within seven (7) days of Respondents' Response. All other provisions of the Order to Show Cause in the lead case (ECF No. 4), including formatting and page limit requirements, shall remain in force. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 4/10/2026.

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondent Warden, Krome North Service Processing Center's ("Respondent") Expedited Motion to Vacate Restriction on Transfer or Removal as to Petitioner Rosbeli Manuel Barrios Perez. 10 . Therein, Respondent moves to vacate a portion of the Court's Order to Show Cause 4 that provides "Petitioner is not to be transferred until these proceedings have terminated, and therefore Respondents shall maintain Petitioner's detention within the Southern District of Florida for the pendency of the Petition[.]" 10 at 1-2. Here, Petitioner Rosbeli Manuel Barrios Perez applied "for permission to voluntarily depart the United States in lieu of being removed," and the Immigration Judge granted his application. Id. at 2. The Court finds it is proper to vacate this restriction within the Order to Show Cause 4 just as to Petitioner Rosbeli Manuel Barrios Perez. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Expedited Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise advised of the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Respondent's Motion 10 is GRANTED. The Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4) is hereby VACATED as to Petitioner Rosbeli Manuel Barrios Perez only. All provisions of the Order to Show Cause remain in force as to all other Petitioners in this action. Further, Respondents are DIRECTED to file a notice with the Court indicating when Petitioner Barrios Perez has departed the United States and their custody, so that the Court can dismiss his Petition as moot. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 5/1/2026. (hyn) (Entered: 05/01/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Notice of Movement of Petitioner 24 . Therein, the Government notifies the Court that Petitioner Jerome Toussaint was transported out of the Southern District of Florida in violation of the Court's Order to Show Cause at (ECF No. 4). 24 at 1. Upon its review of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Detainee Locator, the Court found that Petitioner Toussaint has been returned to the Southern District of Florida. The Court DIRECTS Respondents to file a Notice on or before June 19, 2026, indicating when Petitioner Toussaint was returned to the District and explaining, in detail, the procedures and steps that led to Petitioner Toussaint being moved in violation of the Order to Show Cause 4 .

PAPERLESS ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Notice of Petitioner Movement. 32 . Therein, Respondents notify the Court they have moved Petitioner Jerome Toussaint out of the Southern District of Florida to Mississippi, in violation of the Court's Order to Show Cause ("OTSC") at (ECF No. 4), where the Court ordered Respondents not to move Petitioners out of the district. 32 at 1. This is the second time that Respondents have moved Petitioner Toussaint out of the district in violation of the OTSC. See (ECF Nos. 24, 30-31). Respondents' counsel notes that he "believes" Petitioner Toussaint was relocated due to "forced evacuation related to Miami-Dade brush fires." 32 at 1. The Court notes that Respondents' counsel's "belie[f]" is not sufficient to address the Court's concerns, nor does it help the Court understand why Petitioner Toussaint was moved outside of the district altogether. This is especially true because Respondents, after previously violating the OTSC, represented to the Court that "a banner was placed in ICE's case management system along with another comment to further reflect the prohibition of transfer." (ECF No. 31) at 1. Additionally, in another case before this Court where Respondents had violated a different but substantively identical court order, Respondents assured the Court that "Deportation Officers now see 'alert banners' in all habeas cases that instruct[] them 'to seek further guidance before initiating any transfer of a petitioner, thereby mitigating the risk of inadvertent transfers[.]'" Olivares Zapata v. Ripa, No. 1-26-cv-21316 (S.D. Fla. June 5, 2026), ECF No. 29 at 8. Respondents are ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE on or before June 25, 2026, as to why they should not be sanctioned for their repeated violations of the Court's Order 4 . In their response, Respondents shall at minimum address the following: (1) the reason Petitioner Toussaint was transferred, including why he was specifically transferred out of the district rather than to another facility within the district; (2) how Petitioner Toussaint could have been transferred out of the district if Respondents have really employed the banner system; (3) how the banner system works; (4) when Petitioner Toussaint will be transferred back to the Southern District of Florida; and (5) why Respondents' counsel did not know the reason Petitioner Toussaint was transferred when Respondents submitted the Notice at (ECF No. 32). Further, a Show Cause Hearing is set for June 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM before the Honorable K. Michael Moore in Courtroom 13-1 (thirteenth floor), United States Courthouse, 400 North Miami Avenue, Miami. Respondents are ORDERED to appear in person and cause to produce, in person, the body of Petitioner Toussaint at said hearing. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 6/23/2026.

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondent Matthew Elliston's Individual Motion to Continue Show Cause Hearing. 45 . Therein, Respondent Elliston requests that the Court continue its Show Cause Hearing, currently scheduled for July 9, 2026, until either July 16, 2026, or July 17, 2026. Id. at 1. He argues such a continuance is necessary because he has retained private counsel after being advised "that the United States Attorney's Office will not represent him in this matter," but his counsel is outside of the country on a family vacation. Id. at 2. Respondent Ellison's counsel, who is scheduled to meet him on July 13, 2026, needs time to "familiarize herself with the facts that form the basis for the Order to Show Cause; determine and secure whatever witnesses and exhibits that may be needed so as to properly present a defense to the show cause order, and perform whatever other tasks are required by her professional obligations[.]" Id. The Court finds there is good cause to continue the Show Cause Hearing. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Respondent's Motion 45 is GRANTED. The Show Cause Hearing (ECF No. 42) as to Respondent Elliston and Attorney Timothy Abraham is continued to July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 13-1 (thirteenth floor), United States Courthouse, 400 North Miami Avenue, Miami.

Refiled from Jacques v. Warden, Krome Service Processing Center, No. 1:26-cv-21770-KMM. PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Notice of Petitioner's Transfer Due to Wildfire Danger. 45 . Therein, Respondents "respectfully advise the Court that Petitioner [Cristian Ruben Perez Quiche] was transferred from Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, Florida, to Adams County Correctional Center due to wildfire danger." Id. at 1. Remarkably, despite Petitioner having been transferred to Adams County Correctional Center, which is in Mississippi, on June 22, 2026, Respondents did not notify their counsel until July 8, 2026. Id.; (ECF No. 45-1) at 1. Substantially troubling, moreover, is that despite Petitioner being absent from the District for over two weeks now in violation of the Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 5), his name was not included in the list of detainees transferred in violation of a court order that this Court ordered Respondents to compile and file in another case before it, Diaz-Joba v. Krome North Service Processing Center, No. 1:26-cv-22429-KMM (ECF No. 37) (S.D. Fla. July 1, 2026). The Court then ordered Respondents to file that list of cases, which Respondents did in this case. (ECF No. 44). Assistant U.S. Attorney Natalie Diaz represents that "Respondents informed [her] of the transfer on July 8, 2026," the same day that she filed the instant Notice. (ECF No. 45) at 1. While the Court appreciates Attorney Diaz's timeliness in notifying the Court, in receiving the list as ordered, the Court expected that Respondents would have undertaken a thorough review of all petitioners transferred in violation of any court order in this District, and that the U.S. Attorney's Office as their counsel would have undertaken "an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances" to ensure that that list was accurate and complete. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b). Absent temporary technological issues, any immigration detainee's current location is ascertainable through a search of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Online Detainee Locator System website found at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search, such that the U.S. Attorney's Office and here Attorney Diaz need not have relied merely on being informed by Respondents as to a particular petitioner's location. The Court further notes that Respondents have repeatedly represented to the Court in other cases before it that the danger from the brush fires that caused the evacuation of Krome has now subsided for a number of days. See, e.g., Cadena Carvajalino v. Krome North Service Processing Center et al., No. 1:26-cv-21281-KMM (ECF No. 60) (S.D. Fla. July 7, 2026). Accordingly, Respondents are hereby ORDERED to file a status report within one (1) day of this Order indicating: (1) an anticipated arrival date back to the District for Petitioner Perez Quiche; and (2) why Respondents did not notify Attorney Diaz until July 8, 2026 of his transfer weeks prior. Relatedly, Respondents are ORDERED to conduct a renewed search of all petitioners who were in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in the Southern District of Florida at the time that their habeas corpus petitions were filed, and since that time were transferred in violation of any order entered in their respective cases by a court in this District, whether that be a prohibition on transfer from a particular facility or from the District. Upon conducting the renewed search, Respondents shall cross-reference the resulting list with the list submitted in Diaz-Joba v. Krome North Service Processing Center, No. 1:26-cv-22429-KMM at (ECF No. 37) and determine which petitioners were not included in that initial list, such as Petitioner Ruben Quiche. The U.S. Attorney's Office is hereby advised that the Court expects its attorneys to fulfill their Rule 11 obligations in independently ensuring the accuracy of this list, or otherwise explaining why this is not possible. Respondents shall file a notice indicating the efforts that were undertaken to this end and the names of any petitioners who were not initially included on or before July 13, 2026. This notice need only be filed once in Diaz-Joba v. Krome North Service Processing Center, No. 1:26-cv-22429-KMM, where the Court will further consider the notice once it has been filed. This Order shall be issued in both cases. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 7/9/2026. (ss01) (Entered: 07/09/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon a sua sponte review of the record. As set forth in (ECF No. 48), on July 9, 2026, the Court noted that in another case before it, Jacques v. Warden, Krome Service Processing Center, No. 1:26-cv-21770-KMM, Respondents filed notice of a petitioner's transfer in violation of the Court's order requiring he not be transferred and further indicated that his name was not included in the list of detainees transferred in violation of a court order that Respondents previously provided to the Court at (ECF No. 37). The Court is now aware of at least five cases before it, and at least six cases before other Judges in this District, where a similar notice has been filed regarding a petitioner who had not been included in the initial list provided: Case Nos. 0:26-cv-61084-KMM, 1:26-cv-20982-KMM, 1:26-cv-23523-KMM, 1:26-cv-20791-KMM, 1:26-cv-21281-KMM, 1:26-cv-22117-KMW, 1:26-cv-20708-KMW, 1:26-cv-23539-KMW, 1:26-cv-23001-JB, 1:26-cv-20317-DSL, 1:26-cv-21871-DPG. In some of those cases Respondents filed this Court's paperless order and attachment at (ECF No. 42), and in some cases they did not. Remarkably, in at least one instance a petitioner was not merely transferred but indeed entirely removed from the country in violation of the Court's order requiring the petitioner remain detained in the District. Perez Arevalo v. Broward Transition Center et al., No. 0:26-cv-61084-KMM (S.D. Fla. July 9, 2026) (ECF No. 27). In a previous case where a petitioner was removed in violation of the Court's order prohibiting transfer, Respondents showed cause why they should not be sanctioned for that transfer and explained various remedial measures being implemented, including adopting an alert banner system to prevent inadvertent transfers. Ferrer Hernandez v. Assistant Field Office Director for the Miami Office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations, No. 1:26-cv-21316 (S.D. Fla.) (ECF Nos. 25, 26, 29, 30). The improper removal in Perez Arevalo of which the Court received notice on July 9, 2026 was unrelated to the brush fires and the initial transfer from Krome North Service Processing Center to the El Valle Detention Facility in Texas occurred nearly two months ago, with no notice to the Court in that time. While this was prior to the represented implementation of the alert banner system, the Court is nevertheless troubled both by the now-repeated instances of a petitioner's removal while his habeas petition was pending, and particularly by Respondents' apparent lack of awareness that the removal in Perez Arevalo had occurred as evidenced by that petitioner's omission from the list submitted to the Court at (ECF No. 37). As the Court's Paperless Order and Attachment at (ECF No. 42) evidently reflects an incomplete list of petitioners transferred in violation of court order, Respondents need not file it in any additional cases at this time. As ordered at (ECF No. 48), Respondents shall file a notice indicating the names of any petitioners who were not initially included on the list on or before July 13, 2026. Respondent Matthew Elliston and Attorney Timothy Abraham are hereby advised that at the Show Cause Hearing set for July 16, 2026, in addition to the topics set forth in (ECF No. 42), they should be prepared to discuss the aforementioned deficiencies in the list submitted, as well as the reason for the violative transfers and removals that were unrelated to the brush fires that forced the evacuation of Krome North Service Processing Center. Should any Assistant U.S. Attorneys from any of the other cases where a violation has occurred wish to appear at the Show Cause Hearing to provide pertinent information, they may do so. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 7/10/2026. (ss01) (Entered: 07/10/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon a sua sponte review of the record. On July 13, 2026, Respondents filed their Response ("Response") 51 to the Court's July 9, 2026 Paperless Order, wherein the Court ordered Respondents to "conduct a renewed search of all petitioners who were in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") detention in the Southern District of Florida at the time that their habeas corpus petitions were filed, and since that time were transferred in violation of any order entered in their respective cases by a court in this District, whether that be a prohibition on transfer from a particular facility or from the District." (ECF No. 48). The Court further reminded the U.S. Attorney's Office ("USAO") that its attorneys are expected "to fulfill their Rule 11 obligations in independently ensuring the accuracy of this list, or otherwise explaining why this is not possible." Id. In the Response, the USAO informed the Court that it received a declaration (the "Declaration") from Respondent ICE at 8:20 PM on July 13, 2026, which is the date the Response was due. (ECF No. 51) at 2. Per the Declaration, ICE found 116 cases in the Southern District of Florida since June 2025 in which a petitioner was transferred in violation of a court order. Id. at 2. Seventy-two (72) of the petitioners that were transferred were not included in the list that Respondents submitted in response to a prior Court Order on July 1, 2026. Id.; see also (ECF No. 37-1). Given the late hour that the Declaration was received, the USAO "notifies this Court that it does not have the ability to confirm the information provided by ICE" because it needs to "confirm [the requested information] with the AUSA assigned to the case." Id. at 3. The USAO thus requests seventy-two (72) hours to inform the Court as to whether ICE provided accurate information and as to whether the USAO informed each respective court of the many violations detailed in ICE's declaration. Id. The Court reminds Respondents and the USAO that it has set a Show Cause Hearing for July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM, at which Attorney Timothy Abraham and ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Miami Field Office Director Matthew Elliston are ordered to appear. Given the scope of violations detailed in the Response, the Court also ORDERS Attorney Matthew James Feeley to appear at said hearing and be prepared to discuss the considerations outlined at (ECF Nos. 42, 49). It is FURTHER ORDERED that the USAO, by July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM, shall: (1) independently confirm that the lists ICE has provided at (ECF No. 51-1) are accurate; (2) provide supplemental information as to whether it informed each respective court as to the 116 listed violations; and (3) provide information as to the current location of each of the 116 detainees. If the detainees have not been returned to the location required by the respective court order (whether that be a specific facility or the Southern District of Florida generally), the USAO shall inform the Court as to where the detainees currently are, why they have not yet been returned to the proper location, and when they will be returned to the proper location. Finally, Respondents are ORDERED to immediately file a copy of this Order in each of the 116 cases and indicate that the undersigned is holding a hearing on July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM at which Respondents and the USAO have been ordered to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for their repeated violations of court orders.
