ORDER TO ANSWER, 28 U.S.C. § 2241: Petitioner has filed a Petition for the writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The Court, having examined the Petition, hereby ORDERS that: (1) By 5:00 p.m. on September 14, 2026, Respondents shall file a letter with the following information, as further set forth.

To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the Petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States absent further order of this Court. See, e.g., Khalil v. Joyce, No. 25-CV-1935 (JMF), 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) (citing cases); see also, e.g., Du v.

Moreover, in light of Petitioner's interests in participating in further proceedings before this Court and to facilitate resolution of the Petition, Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner except to a facility within this District, the Eastern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See, e.g., Perez y Perez v. Noem, No. 25-CV-4828 (DEH), 2025 WL 1908284, at *2-3 (S.D.N.Y.
