ORDER re: 30 Respondents' Status Report and 31 Joint Status Report.The respondents confirm that the petitioner was released from ICE custody on 7/9/2026. The petitioner states that he "seeks permanent injunctive relief from third-country removal . . . . by enjoining the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from removal to all non-designated counties without notice, including by requesting a hearing to present any fear-based claim." The respondents do not state whether they oppose such relief, but they do state that they are no longer pursuing the petitioner's removal to Uganda or Cameroon, the two third countries that were at issue in this case. Accordingly, if the petitioner wishes to pursue further injunctive relief, he may do so in a new action.The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter final judgment in favor of the petitioner pursuant to 29 Order Granting Writ of Habeas Corpus.SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 7/17/2026. Text Only Entry. (rkeec) Modified on 7/17/2026 to remove duplicate ORDER (rkeec). (Entered: 07/17/2026)
