Isabella Maryanovsky v. Garret Ripa, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida partially granted Isabella Maryanovsky’s emergency motion for a temporary restraining order in her habeas action challenging immigration detention. The court enjoined the respondents from removing Maryanovsky from the Jacksonville Division through January 19, 2026, waived the Rule 65(c) security requirement, and denied relief seeking to enjoin her continued detention. The order also directed service, required respondents’ counsel to appear, and scheduled a status conference.

Holdings

1. A temporary restraining order was warranted to preserve the status quo because removal from the court's jurisdiction could effectively foreclose judicial recourse while the habeas action was pending.
2. The court denied the request to enjoin Respondents from continuing to detain Maryanovsky and declined to grant the requested substantive release-related relief through the temporary restraining order.
3. The court waived the Rule 65(c) security requirement because there was no realistic likelihood of prejudice to Respondents from the limited restraint.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Maryanovsky was entitled to a temporary restraining order preserving the status quo by preventing Respondents from removing or transferring her outside the Jacksonville Division of the Middle District of Florida.
2. Whether the court should enjoin Respondents from continuing to detain Maryanovsky or require her release or reinstatement of her prior Order of Supervision.
3. Whether the court should waive the security requirement under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c).
