Jose Francisco Serrano Gonzalez v. Jason Knight, et al.

4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 6 * * * JOSE FRANCISCO SERRANO Case No. 2:25-cv-02081-RFB-BNW GONZALEZ, 8 ORDER Petitioner, v. JASON KNIGHT, et al., Respondents.

13 Before the Court is counseled Petitioner Jose Francisco Serrano Gonzalez’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, challenging his continued detention at Nevada Southern Detention Center. The Court has reviewed the Petition and preliminarily believes Petitioner likely can demonstrate that his circumstances warrant the same relief as this Court 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 writing no later than 5:00 p.m. on November 3, 2025 on why the Court should not grant the Petition. Petitioner may file a reply no later than November 5, 2025. The Parties are further ordered to appear for a hearing on the motion before the undersigned at 9:00 a.m. on November 7, 2025 in Las Vegas Courtroom 7C. Alternatively, the Court would be amenable to ruling on the papers if the parties indicate that they are willing to waive a hearing. If Respondents have no new arguments to offer that have not already been addressed by the Court, they may so indicate by reference to their previous briefing, while reserving appellate rights. Respondents should file 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 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 exigent 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 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 service.

9 2.

14 3. MAIL a copy of the Petition (ECF No. 1) and this Order pursuant to Rule 4(i)(2) of the 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 No. 1) and this Order on the United States Attorney for the District of Nevada or on an Assistant United States Attorney or clerical employee designated by the United State Attorney pursuant to 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 | 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 [email protected] and on the Civil Chief for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District Nevada at Summer.J ohnson@usdo}.gov.
