ORDER: Respondents must inform the Court of Petitioner's current location, and must include information about any other locations where Petitioner has been held and the dates of any transfers since his initial detention, by October 22, 2026 at 9:00 A.M. Respondents must also file a response to the writ, including legal or factual arguments why the writ should not be granted, by October 22, 2026 at 9:00 A.M. Respondents are also directed to respond to Petitioner's allegation that his detention status was misrepresented to an Immigration Judge. Petitioner claims that he "is physically detained. Yet on October 19, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security told the Immigration Court he had been released, causing the Immigration Judge to terminate his scheduled custody proceeding as moot." (Pet. for Writ of Habeas Corpus dated Oct. 19, 2026, Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 2). Petitioner alleges that the information underlying the termination of his custody proceeding was "false, or at a minimum materially misleading... [as] he had not been released from ICE custody," (id. ¶ 52), and that "ICE's own detainee locater continued to identify him that same day as in ICE custody at the Brooklyn MDC." (Id. ¶ 2). Respondents must address these allegations. If Respondents believe this case is unique, and raises issues separate and apart from those raised in similar petitions, and as a result require additional time to provide some or all of the information requested, in lieu of responding at 9:00 A.M., they may file a request for additional time with a short explanation for why this case raises unique issues not previously decided. The Clerk's office is directed to remove the restriction within this matter. So Ordered by Judge Sanket J. Bulsara on 10/20/2026. (SKC)

ORDER: To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending final disposition of the 1 Petition, Respondents are enjoined from moving Petitioner to a location outside this District, the Southern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey absent further order of this Court. See, e.g., Loc. 1814, Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n, AFL-CIO v. N.Y. Shipping Ass'n, Inc., 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992) ("Once the district court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter of, and the parties to, the litigation, the All Writs Act [28 U.S.C. § 1651] authorizes a federal court to protect that jurisdiction."); Garcia-Izquierdo v. Gartner, No. 04 Civ. 7377, 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sep. 17, 2004) (observing that, under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, a district court "may order that a petitioner's deportation be stayed... when a stay is necessary to preserve the Court's jurisdiction of the case"); Khalil v. Joyce, No. 25 Civ. 1935, 2025 WL 750599, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 10, 2025) (barring the government from removing petitioner from the United States until the Court could address his claim); Ozturk v. Hyde, 136 F.4th 382 (2d Cir. 2025) (declining to stay a district court order, issued pursuant to the All Writs Act, which transferred petitioner to the district court's territorial jurisdiction, given district courts' "undeniabl[e]... inherent authority to protect [its] proceedings" (citation modified)); cf. Michael v. I.N.S., 48 F.3d 657, 661-62 (2d Cir. 1995) (holding that the All Writs Act provides a federal court of appeals reviewing a final removal order with a basis to stay removal). The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to email a copy of this Order and the Petition to the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Eastern District of New York. Petitioner's counsel shall also serve a copy of the order on the USAO. Ordered by Judge Nina R. Morrison on 10/20/2026. (OA)
