(Text-Only) ORDER: In the Court's briefing order and notice of hearing, the Court ordered Defendants to bring someone with relevant knowledge who can provide information about the logistics of implementing the relief requested in Plaintiff's motion, particularly on the logistics of and the timelines involved in facilitating the return of an individual to Minnesota from the Central African Republic to the hearing on the motion. 13 In Defendants' response to Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 18, Defendants informed the Court that the only ICE/ERO employee in Minnesota with such personal knowledge is Deportation Officer James Der Vaart, who will be unavailable at the time of the hearing. 18 Defendants asked that the Court reschedule the hearing, should it conclude [Van Der Vaart's] presence remains necessary. The Court construes this statement as a request to continue the hearing, although Defendants have filed no motion to continue the hearing and advance no well-developed argument to support such a request. Therefore, this request is DENIED, and the Court will rule on the Motion for Preliminary Injunction 7 based on the record presented. Ordered by Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan on 10/28/2026.
