Nguyen v. Scott

W.D. Wash. · July 30, 2025

Court W.D. Wash.
Decided July 30, 2025
Docket 2:25-cv-01398
Citation 2025 WL 2165995
Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright, United States District Judge
Disposition Relief granted in part
Nationality Vietnam

The court restrained removal to any country other than Vietnam pending a preliminary-injunction ruling, relief the government did not oppose, and denied immediate release as falling outside the limited purpose of a temporary restraining order.

Caution Interim order that replaced a July 25, 2025 ex parte order and was to last only until a written order on the preliminary injunction; the court expressly declined to elaborate on the merits of the third-country claims and gave the government more time to rebut the Zadvydas showing; the government conceded that its revocation notice was incorrect; the Tang order cites this decision as decided July 20, 2025 although the document reads 'Signed July 30, 2025'.
