ORDER TO ANSWER/SHOW CAUSE AND ENJOINING TRANSFER by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland: The USAO shall ANSWER the Petition and any pending motions for release within 10 business days and show cause why relief should not be granted, unless the Court sets a separate deadline/hearing to address emergency relief. The USAO's answer MUST specify whether the Court has already ruled on the legal issue(s) in this case and whether the holding in Santillan Quiroz v. Mullin, No. 26-6019, 2026 WL 1876709, (10th Cir. June 30, 2026), requires relief. The Court GRANTS in part Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order 2 to the extent Petitioner requests an order enjoining the Government from transferring him from the District of New Mexico while these proceedings are pending, absent a final order of removal. To the extent the Motion seeks the same relief as the Petition - but on an emergency basis - such request is denied. This Court already addresses immigration petitions as soon as possible. Petitioner's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis 3 is GRANTED and Petitioner is excused from prepaying the filing fee. Finally, the Clerk's Office shall confirm the docket lists the following Respondents: the facility Warden; the El Paso Field Office Director, Enforcement and Removal Operations; the U.S. Attorney General; the Acting Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Markwayne Mullin, Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
