MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey on 10/7/2026. Petitioner Amador Rodriguez Magallan moves on an emergency basis for an order directing his return to Nevada. 15 Magallan filed his petition on June 25, 2026, and a day later I issued an order prohibiting the respondents from transferring him out of this district, except to effectuate the petitioner's lawful deportation. Magallan's counsel contends that Magallan was recently transferred to Arizona for the apparent purpose of removing him. Counsel suggests that any removal would be unlawful because Magallan told him he has filed a timely appeal of his removal order. The respondents must file a response to the emergency motion by October 9, 2026, explaining the purpose of Magallan's transfer. The government must attach all documentation it relies on to support its transfer decision. If the transfer was made for the purpose of removal, the government must provide documentation supporting its contention that removal is lawful and address Magallan's contention that he has appealed his removal order. The respondents are prohibited from removing Magallan until this court rules on the emergency motion. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - MH) (Entered: 10/07/2026)
