MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Guy Castillo on 7/8/2026: (Text Only Entry). The Court has reviewed the petition and will issue a briefing order. In the meantime, and unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondent SHALL NOT remove petitioner from the United States nor 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"). Under the circumstances, the Court finds that this Order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the Court's review of the petition. (Deputy Clerk WAK) (Entered: 07/08/2026)
