TEXT ORDER. Through counsel, Petitioner filed a petition seeking relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. 1. He also moved for an order to show cause and an order enjoining Respondents from moving him outside of the Western District of New York during these proceedings. Dkt. 2. 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."). The Court has considered Petitioner's additional arguments, but those arguments do not entitle him to the relief he seeks here. Petitioner's motion (Dkt. 2), therefore, is denied. Respondents shall respond to the second petition by November 3, 2026. Petitioner's response is due by November 10, 2026. The Clerk of Court shall serve a copy of the petition (Dkt. 1) and 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 10/20/2026. (KLH) (Entered: 10/20/2026)
