ORDER provisionally granting 2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Court may grant a temporary restraining order (TRO) to preserve the Court's jurisdiction and to maintain the status quo. See A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 605 U.S. 91, 97 (2025) (Federal courts have "the power to issue injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm to [an] applicant[ ] and to preserve [ ] jurisdiction over the matter."). Therefore, Petitioners motion for temporary restraining order is PROVISIONALLY GRANTED pending resolution of the motion. This grant is solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo so that the assigned judge may review the merits of the motion after full briefing. Respondents (and their officers, employees, agents, or others working on their behalf) are temporarily PROHIBITED from transferring Petitioner from this district or removing Petitioner from the United States pending further order of this Court. Signed by Judge Tana Lin.(Lin, Tana) Modified on 8/31/2026 to regenerate NEF to AUSA. (RE). (Entered: 08/28/2026)

MINUTE ORDER. The motion for temporary restraining order 2 is DENIED. Because Petitioner remains at the NWIPC and the Court's scheduling order requires at least 48 hours' notice to Petitioner and counsel before transferring him out of the jurisdiction while his case remains pending, Petitioner has not established a likelihood of imminent irreparable harm. Petitioner may renew his motion if Respondents seek to transfer him. Authorized by District Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright. (BKP) (Entered: 09/09/2026)
