2006 New York Code - Warrant Preceding Or Accompanying Writ.

 
    §  7007. Warrant preceding or accompanying writ. A court authorized to
  issue a writ of habeas corpus, upon satisfactory proof that a person  is
  wrongfully  detained  and  will  be  removed  from  the  state or suffer
  irreparable injury before he can be relieved  by  habeas  corpus,  shall
  issue  a  warrant  of  attachment  directed  to  an  appropriate officer
  requiring him immediately to bring the person detained before the court.
  A writ of habeas corpus directed to the person  having  custody  of  the
  person  detained  shall  also  be  issued.  Where  it  appears  that the
  detention constitutes a criminal offense,  the  warrant  may  order  the
  apprehension of the person responsible for the detention, who shall then
  be  brought  before  the  court issuing the warrant and examined as in a
  criminal case.
