| 1:25-cv-25814-DPG | 06/02/26 | 06/02/26 | 32 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting [31] Respondents' Motion for Clarification. The stay imposed by the Court's Order to Show Cause [ECF No. 12] is LIFTED to the following extent: Respondents may remove Petitioner outside this District to Virginia to facilitate his scheduled interview with the Russian Embassy. Signed by Judge Darrin P. Gayles on 6/2/2026. (bhn) (Entered: 06/02/26) |
| 1:25-cv-25814-DPG | 06/02/26 | 06/02/26 | 33 | Second MOTION for clarification [32] Order on Motion for Clarification, by Krome SPC, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Responses due by 6/16/2026. (Lugo, Jeanette) (Entered: 06/02/26) |
| 1:25-cv-25814-DPG | 06/03/26 | 06/03/26 | 34 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting [33] Respondents' Second Motion for Clarification. As indicated in the Court's May 29, 2026 Order, "On or before June 30, 2026, Respondents shall either remove Petitioner to Russia or release Petitioner under appropriate supervision." [ECF No. 29 at 12]. Removal from this District is inherent in--that is, an essential component of--removal to Russia. Accordingly, the Court's May 29 Order already authorizes Respondents to remove Petitioner from this District if it is doing so to remove him to Russia by the Court's June 30 deadline. That fact, combined with the Court's June 2, 2026 paperless order lifting the stay in part, means that Respondents are authorized to remove Petitioner from this District to two places, each for a specific reason: (1) to Virginia to facilitate his interview with the Russian Embassy and (2) to Russia as final removal from the United States.
