MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Petitioner has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging her detention in ICE custody. Respondent is ordered to respond to the habeas corpus petition and motion for a temporary restraining order by 08/06/26. Petitioner shall reply by 08/13/26. Respondent shall also file a statement by 08/06/26 stating: (1) whether Petitioner was located in the Northern District of Illinois at the time this case was filed (07/30/26 at 12:38 p.m. central time); (2) the current status of Petitioner's immigration proceedings (if any); and (3) 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, and to preserve the court's jurisdiction, the Government is ordered not to remove Petitioner from the jurisdiction of the United States and not to transfer her 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)); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947). 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 transit 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. 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.

Aug 31, 2026

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motion to enforce judgment 14 is denied. The court entered a conditional writ of habeas corpus, ordering the respondents to provide petitioner with an individualized release hearing under 8 U.S.C. s. 1226(a) within seven days or release petitioner. See 13 . Within a few days of this court's order, the immigration court conducted a release hearing at which petitioner was represented by counsel and had the assistance of an interpreter. The presiding official considered evidence, argument from counsel, questioned the petitioner about her driver's license and car insurance, and articulated his reasons to deny petitioner's release. See 18 (audio recording of hearing). That hearing complied with this court's writ. Although petitioner has arguments to suggest the immigration decision was wrong, those merits arguments are beyond the scope of the writ in this case. Petitioner may also have arguments challenging the validity of the process (including the available administrative appellate relief) in the immigration system. But those too are outside the scope of this case. The clerk shall enter judgment in favor of petitioner and against respondents, awarding petitioner an individualized release hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within seven days of 8/17/26 or release on her own recognizance. The government has complied with that judgment. The judgment is without prejudice to petitioner pursuing claims that accrued after the 8/17/26 decision in this case. Terminate civil case.
