SCHEDULING ORDER In order to preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending final disposition of the 1 Petition, to the extent petitioner is located in the Eastern District of New York, the Southern District of New York, or the District of New Jersey, respondents are ENJOINED from moving petitioner to a location outside those districts absent further order of this Court. Respondents shall submit a letter, by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, November 2, 2026, stating: (1) where petitioner was confined at the time the Petition was filed and where petitioner is currently confined; whether petitioner is in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Indiana Department of Correction, or both; the legal basis for that custody; and the identity of petitioner's immediate custodian; (2) whether this Court has jurisdiction over the Petition, including whether this District is the proper forum for the Petition; and, if respondents contend that this Court lacks jurisdiction over all or part of the Petition, whether respondents consent to the transfer of this action, or any part of it, to the United States District Court for the district in which petitioner was confined at the time the Petition was filed; (3) the statutory provision(s) under which respondents assert the authority to detain petitioner; and (4) whether the Second Circuit's decision in Barbosa Da Cunha v. Freden, No. 25-3141 (2d Cir. Apr. 28, 2026) controls, or whether otherwise there is any material basis to distinguish the instant case from this Court's prior decisions in Y- C- v. Genalo, No. 25-cv-06558, 2025 WL 3653496 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 17, 2025), Crespo Tacuri v. Genalo, No. 25-cv-06896, 2026 WL 35569 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 6, 2026), Terrero v. Tsoukaris, No. 26-cv-00869, 2026 WL 607917 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 4, 2026), Meza v. Francis, No. 26-cv-02722, 2026 WL 1734903 (E.D.N.Y. June 16, 2026), R.S.J.R. v. Mullin, No. 26-cv-03611, ECF No. 9 (E.D.N.Y. June 23, 2026), Menjivar v. Genalo, No. 26-cv-02506, ECF No. 16 (E.D.N.Y. June 12, 2026), R.M.R. v. Genalo, No. 26-cv-04358, 2026 WL 2211009 (E.D.N.Y. July 31, 2026), or any other decision of this Court. If respondents take the position that the present case is controlled by Barbosa Da Cunha and/or is not materially different from one or more of the Court's prior decisions, respondents shall further state whether respondents consent to the issuance of the writ, and petitioner's immediate release, subject to preservation of respondents' arguments for appeal. If respondents take the position that the present case is not controlled by Barbosa Da Cunha or any of the Court's prior decisions, respondents are ordered to show cause, in writing, as to why the relief sought in the Petition should not be granted and otherwise respond to the factual and legal assertions in the Petition no later than Wednesday, November 4, 2026. If respondents file a response to the Order to Show Cause, petitioner shall file a reply no later than Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Respondents must serve a copy of this Order to Show Cause and their response, if any, on petitioner, with proof of such service to the Clerk of this Court.
