TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 2 ), which seeks "release from immigration detention or, alternatively, a constitutionally adequate custody hearing within forty-eight hours." (ECF No. 2 at 1.) As the relief Petitioner seeks in the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is accomplished by the Court's Self-Executing Order (ECF No. 3 ), Petitioner's Motion at ECF No. 2 is DENIED as moot, and the Clerk of the Court shall TERMINATE the Motion pending at ECF No. 2. Upon receipt of Respondent's response, the Court will determine whether an expedited scheduling order or other proceedings are necessary. So Ordered by Judge Georgette Castner on 10/29/2026.
