On November 19, 2010, Petitioners filed a habeas petition, in which they asserted Petitioner Fernando Catzin Ake would enter Respondents' custody on Monday, November 22, 2010, and be removed from the United States shortly thereafter. Petitioners admit that Petitioner Ake is currently in state custody, but argue that the existence of an immigration detainer creates "constructive custody."1 The Court has issued an order temporarily enjoining and restraining Respondents from removing Petitioners from the United States to Mexico. Elec. Dkt. No. 9. The Court ordered Respondents to file an opposition to entry of a preliminary injunction by November 22, 2010. Respondents contend that the existence of an immigration detainer alone does not vest the Court with jurisdiction over this matter. Campos v. INS, 62 F.3d 311, 314 (9th Cir. 1995).
