May 7, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 5 MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the Petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2241 (Doc. 1), which contains within it a request for emergency injunctive relief. Petitioner (A File #: 241-990-090) asserts that she has been detained since January 1, 2026 (Doc. 1 at 2), more than 4 months ago. She does not explain her delay in seeking a request for a temporary restraining order or why despite this delay, the Court should treat the situation as a procedural emergency. Thus, the TRO request is untimely, and it is DENIED. Local Rule 231(b). The Court refers the matter to the assigned magistrate judge for a determination on the merits. The Court sets the following briefing schedule, which may be modified by the magistrate judge as needed. Respondents SHALL file their responsive pleading within 14 days. Petitioner may file a traverse no later than 7 days after the respondents file their brief.In the meantime, unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall not remove Petitioner from the United States nor transfer Petitioner out of this District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the circumstances, the Court finds that this order is warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such relief signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on May 7, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM)
