United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDY PORFIRIO ALVARADO 

TELLO,

Plaintiff,

v.

WILLIAM BARR, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01312-CRB 

ORDER GRANTING EX PARTE

MOTION FOR TEMPORARY

RESTRAINING ORDER

Pending before the Court is Petitioner Fredy Porfirio Alvarado Tello’s Emergency 

Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) and Preliminary Injunction. Dkt. 3. 

The motion was filed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b) and seeks an emergency 

stay to prevent Petitioner from being re-detained pending resolution of his current petition 

for a writ of habeas corpus. Id. at 10; see also Dkt. 1. 

The Court finds that Petitioner has satisfied Rule 65(b) and an order preserving the 

status quo pending this Court’s consideration of Petitioner’s should issue. Petitioner has 

raised a serious question of law about the legality of the Board of Immigration Appeals’

bond determination as to Petitioner. He has also sufficiently explained that he would be 

irreparably harmed by a denial of his TRO and that the balance of the equities and the 

public interest tip in his favor. Further, he has shown that ex parte relief is appropriate 

given the emergency nature of his request given that the Board of Immigration Appeals has 

ordered the Department of Homeland Security to re-detain Petitioner. 

The Court thus GRANTS the TRO and ENJOINS Respondents from detaining 

Petitioner for fourteen days, until 5:00 p.m. on March 26, 2019. Petitioner is directed to
