ORDER. Fadil's habeas petition lacks merit. His continued detention does not violate 8 U.S.C. § 1231 or the Due Process Clause, and his conditions-of-confinement claim is procedurally improper. The petition (Dkt. No. 1 ) is denied. Markwayne Mullin, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, is automatically substituted for his predecessor, Kristi Noem. Markwayne Mullin added. Kristi Noem (in her official capacity as Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) terminated. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 7/24/2026) (skh) (Entered: 07/24/2026)
