MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 6/16/2026: The Court has reviewed the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus and 2 motion for temporary restraining order. The Court has previously addressed the legal issues raised by the 1 petition. See e.g., Luis Alberto R.C. v. Murray, 817 F. Supp. 3d 917 (E.D. Cal. 2025); Elmer Joel M. C. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01622-KES-CDB (HC), 2025 WL 3501200 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 6, 2025); W.V.S.M. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01489-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3236521 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 19, 2025); Bilal A. v. Wofford, No. 1:25-CV-01715-KES-HBK (HC), 2025 WL 3648366 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 16, 2025); Marina V.N. v. Robbins, No. 1:25-CV-01845-KES-SKO (HC), 2025 WL 3701960 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 21, 2025). The Court intends to rule directly on the 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus, with the understanding that the Court will also consider any arguments made and exhibits submitted in support of the 2 motion for temporary restraining order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) ("Before or after beginning the hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the court may advance the trial on the merits and consolidate it with the hearing."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The court shall summarily hear and determine the facts, and dispose of [a petitioner's habeas petition] as law and justice require."); Dzhabrailov v. Decker, No. 20-CV-3118 (PMH), 2020 WL 2731966, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. May 26, 2020) (considering preliminary injunction and merits of habeas petition simultaneously). On or before June 18, 2026, respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there are any factual or legal issues in this case that distinguish it from the Court's prior orders in Luis Alberto R.C. v. Murray, Elmer Joel M. C. v. Wofford, W.V.S.M. v. Wofford, Bilal A. v. Wofford, and Marina V.N. v. Robbins and justify denying the petition, or indicate the matter is not substantively distinguishable. Pending the Court's decision, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that respondents shall not transfer petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction").

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 6/29/2026: The 3 motion for temporary restraining order is denied. An immigration judge granted petitioner's request for voluntary departure, and petitioner waived appeal. Doc. 8-2. The immigration judge's order provided that, if petitioner did not depart by the deadline of June 15, 2026, then an alternate order of removal would take effect. See id. Petitioner did not depart by the deadline, so the grant of voluntary departure therefore became a final order of removal on June 16, 2026. See Gregorio v. Warden, No. 2:26-CV-00657-JLT-SKO, 2026 WL 810004, at *2 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 24, 2026). Those who are subject to a final order of removal are subject to mandatory detention under 1231(a)(2)(A) for a period of ninety days. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1)(B), (a)(2)(A). This matter is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for the preparation of findings and recommendations on the petition or other appropriate action. (Deputy Clerk YV) (Entered: 06/29/2026)

MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on 7/08/2026: (Text Only Entry): Respondents' request to lift the Court's stay of transfer is granted. An immigration judge granted petitioner voluntary departure on May 14, 2026, and the immigration judge's order provided that the order would become a final order of removal if petitioner did not depart by June 15, 2026. Doc. 8-2. Petitioner did not depart, so he is now subject to a final order of removal. See Ortega v. Warden of Golden State Annex ICE Det. Facility, No. 1:25-CV-01856-DAD-CSK, 2026 WL 836323, at *2 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 26, 2026) (lifting stay of transfer after a detainee's grant of voluntary departure converted to a final order of removal).
