PAPERLESS ORDER denying Yeiker Alexander Rangel-Nunez’s 16 Renewed Emergency Motion. Rangel-Nunez principally asks us to “stay his removal from the United States” until we resolve his Petition. Mot. at 7. But § 1252(g) provides that “no court shall have jurisdiction to hear any cause or claim” arising from the Government’s decision or action to “execute removal orders[.]” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g). And a request to halt removal “fall[s] squarely within § 1252(g)’s jurisdictional bar” when the action being challenged “is the government's execution of the petitioners’ removal orders.” Camarena v. Dir., Immigr. & Customs Enf’t, 988 F.3d 1268, 1272 (11th Cir. 2021). Rangel-Nunez can’t avoid that bar by arguing that the Government lacks authority to execute his removal order because § 1252(g) “bars review over ‘any’ challenge to the execution of a removal order” and “makes no exception for those claiming to challenge the government’s ‘authority’ to execute their removal orders.” Id. at 1273.In any event, Rangel-Nunez hasn’t established “a substantial likelihood of success on the merits.” Wreal, LLC v. Amazon.com, Inc., 840 F.3d 1244, 1247 (11th Cir. 2016). The supplemented record now includes an executed Form I-860 and an IJ decision affirming DHS’s negative credible-fear determination and returning Rangel-Nunez to DHS for removal. See Mot. at 3–5 & Ex. 1. Those circumstances don’t support the “extraordinary and drastic remedy” he seeks. Wreal, 840 F.3d at 1247. Rangel-Nunez also asks us to require the Respondents to file “an unredacted copy” of the Form I-860. Mot. at 7. But the existing record is sufficient to resolve the Petition. The Renewed Emergency Motion [ECF No. 16] is therefore DENIED. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 10/14/2026. (mro) (Entered: 10/14/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER directing the Respondents to update us on the status of Yeiker Alexander Rangel-Nunez's detention. At 1:04 a.m. on October 27, 2026, Rangel-Nunez filed an Emergency Motion for Immediate Ruling and Release [ECF No. 18], informing us that "ICE intends to place [Rangel-Nunez] on a flight to Venezuela on the morning of Tuesday, October 27, 2026." Emergency Mot. at 2. Our independent review of ICE's Online Detainee Locator System yielded no results for Rangel-Nunez's current place of confinement, suggesting that he may already have been removed from the United States. See Online Detainee Locator System, ICE, https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search (last visited Oct. 27, 2026) (search A-Number: 241-809-056; Country of Birth: Venezuela); see also Terrebonne v. Blackburn, 646 F.2d 997, 1000 n.4 (5th Cir. 1981) ("Absent some reason for mistrust, courts have not hesitated to take judicial notice of agency records and reports." (citations omitted)). The Respondents are therefore ORDERED to file a Status Report on the docket by 5:00PM TODAY, October 27, 2026, telling us whether Rangel-Nunez remains in ICE custody or has been removed from the United States. If he has been removed, the Respondents must identify the date and time of his removal. If he remains in ICE custody, the Respondents shall identify his present place of detention and the anticipated date of his removal. In the future, the Respondents must also file a Status Report on the docket within three (3) days of any material change in Rangel-Nunez's custody or removal status. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 10/27/2026. (mro) (Entered: 10/27/2026)
