MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner Rony Bladimir Chavez-Martinez's Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, ECF No. 1. In the application, Petitioner requests immediate release, or in the alternative a bond hearing. Id. at 4. Having reviewed the application, after being served counsel for Respondent shall promptly enter notices of appearance. Within five (5) calendar days of service, Respondent is ORDERED TO RESPOND to the application and is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the application should not be granted. See, e.g., Yassine v. Collins, No. 1:25-cv-00786-ADA-SH, 2025 WL 1954064, at *1 (W.D. Tex.

Further, pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), and in order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Respondent SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.
