ELECTRONIC ORDER: On July 7, 2026, Respondents filed a response indicating that Petitioner was scheduled for removal on July 8, 2026, via an international flight. However, the docket sheet does not reflect whether Petitioner has been removed. Upon review of ICE's Online Detainee Locator, it appears Petitioner is no longer in ICE custody and may have already been removed. Thus, to ensure the Court retains jurisdiction over this action, Respondents are ORDERED to file a status report by August 13, 2026 advising the Court whether Petitioner has been removed.
