MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 11/19/2025: Pending the issuance of the court's order resolving the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order, and unless and until the court orders otherwise, the court ORDERS that defendants shall not take any action to remove petitioner from the United States or to move petitioner out of the Eastern District of California. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (acknowledging 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 present, the court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending its forthcoming order resolving petitioner's pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order. Further, no later than Wednesday, 11/19/2025, by 5:00 PM, petitioner's counsel is DIRECTED (1) to serve respondents with a copy of the petition, motion for temporary restraining order, and accompanying papers, along with this order, by e-mail to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California; and (2) to promptly file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for respondents shall promptly enter Notices of Appearance. Respondents shall file a written opposition to the pending 2 motion for temporary restraining order by 5:00 PM on Thursday, 11/20/2025. If the parties were to jointly agree upon a less demanding briefing schedule, the court will consider the parties' proposal. (Deputy Clerk PAB) (Entered: 11/19/2025)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/1/2026: On 12/9/2025, petitioner filed a 13 motion for preliminary injunction. That same day, respondents filed an 14 opposition to that motion stating that they oppose the granting of a preliminary injunction on the same grounds that they opposed the granting of a temporary restraining order. For the same reasons that the court granted petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order in its 11/21/2025 10 order, the court GRANTS IN PART petitioner's motion for preliminary injunction and orders as follows: (1) respondents are ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-detaining petitioner for any purpose, absent exigent circumstances, without providing petitioner notice and a pre-detention hearing before a neutral adjudicator where respondents will bear the burden of demonstrating that petitioner is a danger to the community or a flight risk by clear and convincing evidence; and (2) petitioner's motion for a preliminary injunction enjoining third-country removal is DENIED as not being ripe without prejudice.
