Text Order DENYING 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to Prevent Removal. The Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the relief requested in Petitioner's motion. "A request for a stay of removal is a challenge to a removal order." See Imran v. Harper, No. 25-30370, 2026 WL 93131, at *1 (5th Cir. Jan. 13, 2026). District courts generally "lack[] jurisdiction to grant such relief." Id. Federal courts lack jurisdiction over "claims connected directly and immediately with a 'decision or action by the Attorney General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders.'" Humphries v. Various Fed. USINS Emps., 164 F.3d 936, 943 (5th Cir. 1999) (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g)). Signed by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.

Text Order DENYING 2 Motion to Show Cause why Preliminary Injunction Should Not be Issued. Because the relief Petitioner now seeks on a preliminary and ex parte basis is essentially identical to the ultimate relief sought on the merits of this already-expedited habeas proceeding, the Motion is DENIED. The Court will resolve Petitioner's request for relief by ruling on the merits of the writ itself. See Garcia-Aleman v. Thompson, No. 25-CV-00886-OLG (W.D. Tex. Oct. 30, 2025) (collecting cases) (Dkt. No. 20). Signed by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (ks1)
