Case No. 25-cv-03407-JSW
Re: Dkt. No. 39
Case No. 25-cv-03502-JSW
Re: Dkt. No. 39
On May 22, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction, Doe
v. Trump, -- F. Supp. 3d --, 2025 WL 1467543, at *2-*5 (N.D. Cal. May 22, 2025) (“Doe”). On
August 22, 2025, the Court granted, in part, Defendants’ motion to stay portions of the
Preliminary Injunction. On November 20, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit granted Defendants’ motion for a limited remand to enable the Court to modify the
preliminary injunction issued in these cases to conform with its ruling on the motion to stay.
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Secretary Noem, Acting Director Lyons, and Acting
Field Director Becerra, as well their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all others
who are in active concert or participation with them are enjoined from:
1) 	arresting, incarcerating, or transferring outside their jurisdiction of residence, Plaintiffs
or similarly situated individuals pending resolution of these proceedings absent new
material information that is independent of the reason(s) for terminating the SEVIS
records of the Plaintiffs in these cases and similarly situated individuals nationwide
(that is individuals whose SEVIS status was revoked during the March/April 2025
policy set aside by the Court);
from imposing any adverse legal effect on any named Plaintiffs in these cases and
similarly situated individuals nationwide that otherwise may be caused by the
Case 4:25-cv-03292-JSW Document 113 Filed 11/26/25 Page 2 of 3

and similarly situated individuals nationwide who are maintaining status under 8
C.F.R. section 214.2(f)(5)(i) for reasons not set forth in 8 Code of Federal Regulations
section 214.1 without further showing and approval by the Court.
The Court extends the deadline to submit a status report or a motion to lift the stay from
December 1, 2025, to January 26, 2026.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 26, 2025
