TEXT ORDER. Through counsel, Petitioner seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. 1 . Respondents shall respond to the petition by October 16, 2026, and Petitioner's reply is due by October 23, 2026. Additionally, Petitioner's 2 MOTION for Order to Show Cause is DENIED. There is no need to interfere with the Department of Homeland Security's authority to "arrange for appropriate places of detention for aliens detained pending removal or a decision on removal[,]" under Title 8, United States Code, Section 1231(g)(1), because this Court will retain jurisdiction over Petitioner's habeas petition regardless of where he is transferred. See Santillanes v. U.S. Parole Comm'n, 754 F.2d 887, 888 (10th Cir. 1985) ("It is well established that jurisdiction attaches on the initial filing for habeas corpus relief, and it is not destroyed by a transfer of the petitioner and the accompanying custodial change."). Moreover, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g) bars this Court from enjoining Respondents from removing Petitioner from the United States while this proceeding is pending. See Reno v. Am.-Arab Anti-Discrimination Comm., 525 U.S. 471, 482 (1999); Delgado v. Quarantillo, 643 F.3d 52, 53 (2d Cir. 2011). The Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of the petition (Dkt. 1 ), Petitioners motion (Dkt. 2 ), and a copy of this Text Order, electronically via a Notice of Electronic Filing to the United States Attorney's Office, Western District of New York at USANYW-Immigration-Habeas@usdoj.gov. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr. on 10/2/2026. (KLH) (Entered: 10/02/2026)
