7 JOSE FRANCISCO SERRANO Case No. 2:25-cv-02081-RFB-BNW GONZALEZ, 8 ORDER Petitioner, 9 v. 10 JASON KNIGHT, et al., 11 Respondents. 12

13 Before the Court is counseled Petitioner Jose Francisco Serrano Gonzalez’s Petition for Writ 14 of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, challenging his continued detention at 15 Nevada Southern Detention Center. The Court has reviewed the Petition and preliminarily believes 16 Petitioner likely can demonstrate that his circumstances warrant the same relief as this Court 17 ordered for Petitioner Arce-Cervera in Arce-Cervera v. Noem, No. 2:25-cv-01895-RFB-NJK (D. 18 Nev. Oct. 28, 2025). 19 Thus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in 20 writing no later than 5:00 p.m. on November 3, 2025 on why the Court should not grant the 21 Petition. Petitioner may file a reply no later than November 5, 2025. The Parties are further 22 ordered to appear for a hearing on the motion before the undersigned at 9:00 a.m. on November 23 7, 2025 in Las Vegas Courtroom 7C. Alternatively, the Court would be amenable to ruling on 24 the papers if the parties indicate that they are willing to waive a hearing. If Respondents have no 25 new arguments to offer that have not already been addressed by the Court, they may so indicate 26 by reference to their previous briefing, while reserving appellate rights. Respondents should file 27 the referenced briefing as an attachment for Petitioner’s counsel’s review. 28 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall not transfer Petitioner out of this 1 District. See F.T.C. v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 604 (1966) (noting the court's "express 2 authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to 3 protect its own jurisdiction"). Given the exigent circumstances, the Court finds that this order is 4 warranted to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and any subsequent order and finds that 5 Petitioner has satisfied the factors governing the issuance of such preliminary relief. 6 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court: 7 1. DELIVER a copy of the Petition (ECF No. 1) and this Order to the U.S. Marshal for 8 service. 9 2. SEND, through CM/ECF, a copy of the Petition (ECF No. 1) and this Order to the 10 United States Attorney for the District of Nevada in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil 11 Procedure 5(b)(2)(E) by adding United States Attorney for the District of Nevada to the docket as 12 an Interested Party at Sigal.Chattah@usdoj.gov, Veronica.criste@usdoj.gov, 13 caseview.ecf@usdoj.gov. 14 3. MAIL a copy of the Petition (ECF No. 1) and this Order pursuant to Rule 4(i)(2) of the 15 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to: 16 1) John Mattos, Warden, Nevada Southern Detention Center, 2190 E. Mesquite 17 Ave., Pahrump, NV 89060; 18 2) Jason Knight, Salt Lake City Field Office Acting Director, U.S. Immigration & 19 Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations, 2975 Decker Lake 20 Drive, Suite 100, West Valley City, UT 84119; 21 3) Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, 950 Pennsylvania 22 Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 20530-0001; 23 4) Kristi Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, 245 Murray 24 Lane SW, Washington, DC 20528. 25 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the U.S. Marshal SERVE a copy of the Petition (ECF 26 No. 1) and this Order on the United States Attorney for the District of Nevada or on an Assistant 27 United States Attorney or clerical employee designated by the United State Attorney pursuant to 28 Rule 4(i)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 1 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to General Order 2025-07, In Re: Stay of 2| Civil Proceedings Involving the United States During Lapse of Appropriations, Petitioner’s 3 | counsel is instructed to SEND by electronic mail a courtesy copy of the Petition to the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada at 5 USANV.CivilDuty@usdoj.gov and on the Civil Chief for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District Nevada at Summer.J ohnson@usdo}.gov.
