ORDER - Petitioner has filed another motion for temporary restraining order attempting to stay his removal. (Doc. 10 .) Despite claiming removal is "imminent" (Doc. 10 at 1), petitioner does not identify that any removal flight has been scheduled so as to require expedited briefing. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED respondents shall respond to the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order on the earlier of two business days prior to petitioner's removal from the United States or October 8, 2026. Petitioner shall file his reply within seven days of the opposition. Ordered by Judge Krissa M Lanham on 9/25/2026. This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no PDF document associated with this entry.

ORDER: On September 25, 2026, the court ordered respondents to respond to petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order. (Doc. 11 .) Respondents filed a response that does not address any of the arguments in the motion. The response only states another removal flight will be scheduled, and notice will be provided at least two business days before that flight. (Doc. 12 at 1.) Based on the timing of the next removal flight set forth by respondents, the court will treat the motion for temporary restraining order as a motion for preliminary injunction. If respondents believe that motion should not be granted, they must file a substantive response addressing the arguments made in the motion. The response shall not incorporate by reference any other documents or arguments made elsewhere. If the response relies on factual assertions, the response must be accompanied by evidence. If respondents do not provide a substantive response, the court may deem that failure as a consent to the granting of the motion. If respondents do not wish to make substantive arguments, they must file a notice acknowledging they are foregoing their opportunity to oppose the motion. IT IS ORDERED no later than October 13, 2026, respondents shall file a substantive response or notice as set forth above. Petitioner shall file a reply within seven days of the response or notice being filed. Ordered by Judge Krissa M Lanham. This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no PDF document associated with this entry. (RMV) (Entered: 10/07/2026)
