MINUTE entry before the Honorable Elaine E. Bucklo: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his present detention in ICE custody. Petitioner represents that he is a lawful permanent resident, is nearly seventy years old, and has been detained for five days without any apparent cause. Respondents shall appear today, July 29, 2026, at 3:00pm, in Courtroom 2243, to show cause that Petitioner should not be immediately released. Respondent is ordered to respond to the habeas corpus petition, in the sense of whether any re-detention is permissible, by 8/5/2026. Status hearing set for July 22, 2026, at 10:15 a.m. In addition, Respondent shall make a preliminary filing alongside their response on 8/5/2026 clarifying: (1) whether Petitioner was located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time this case was filed; (2) the current status of Petitioner's immigration proceedings; (3) if Petitioner has been moved from O'Hare Airport, Petitioner's current location and proper Respondent based on that location. Pursuant to the Court's authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, the Government is ordered not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States and not to transfer him to any federal judicial district other than those in the States of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin. A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 605 U.S. 91, 97 (2025) (per curiam) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a)) ("[T]he Government represented on the record in federal court that it reserved the right to remove detainees after midnight. We had the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to the applicants and to preserve our jurisdiction over the matter."); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) ("The District Court had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief.") If the Petitioner is already, as of the posting of this order, located outside of Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin but within the United States, or is in the midst of transportation outside of those States to another State, then this bar on transfer does not require the immediate return of the Petitioner as long as Respondent intends to hold Petitioner within the United States. Instead, the parties and the Court will address the issue after the Respondent makes the preliminary filing. Respondent is ordered to provide Petitioner access to his medication and his attorney. The Clerk shall email a copy of this order to Tom Walsh, Chief of the Civil Division, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, Craig Oswald, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, and Joshua Press, AUSA, United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois. Mailed notice. (mgh, ) (Entered: 07/29/2026)
