MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS - ORDER CONSOLIDATING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION WITH THE HABEAS PETITION by Judge Dolly M. Gee: Petitioner, an immigration detainee who proceeds pro se (i.e., self-represented), filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C section 2241 1 simultaneously with a request for temporary restraining order ("TRO") 2 . The grounds for relief in the TRO are the same as the habeas petition: Petitioner argues that he was unlawfully detained without a warrant or probable cause to do so and purely on the basis of his race, ethnicity, appearance, and other impermissible factors. The Court converts the request for TRO to a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction ("MPI"). The Court intends to consolidate a ruling on the MPI with a ruling on the habeas petition. The Court has already issued an order setting an expedited briefing schedule on the habeas petition. The same briefing schedule shall apply to the MPI. Thus, the parties shall comply with the briefing schedule set forth in that Order 6, and no hearing will be held on the MPI unless the parties are notified by the Court. A copy of the form for Petitioner to consent to the jurisdiction of a U.S. Magistrate Judge shall also be sent to Petitioner with this Order. The Magistrate Judge will rule on the Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) (Entered: 07/17/2026)

Accordingly, the Court REFERS this case to the FPD for consideration of appointment of counsel for Petitioner.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this order on the FPD. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) (Entered: 07/17/2026)
