Detained immigrant seeks temporary restraining order against transfer
Jun 28, 2026 · Memphis, TN
Milad Ibrahim Eid Ayyad, detained at West Tennessee Detention Facility, filed a habeas corpus petition seeking release pending removal proceedings or a bond hearing. He simultaneously filed for a temporary restraining order to prevent his transfer outside the district, arguing such transfer would sever access to his New Jersey-based counsel. The court denied the motion, finding no irreparable harm since electronic communication would remain possible and no litigation on the habeas petition had yet commenced.
