VACATED PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING STATUS REPORTS. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondent's Notice of Petitioner's Transfer due to Wildfire Danger as to Petitioner Juan Carlos Pena Bejerano. 7 . Therein, Respondent represents that Petitioner was transferred to the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, on June 22, 2026, as "a safety precaution to the wildfires surrounding" Krome North Service Processing Center. Id. at 2. Respondent maintains that "[w]hen the risk posed by the brush fires has been cleared, ICE ERO will identify individuals with pending habeas petitions and orders prohibiting transfer and return them to Krome." (ECF No. 7-2) at 2. The Court's Order to Show Cause (the "OTSC") orders: "Petitioner is not to be transferred out of the Southern District of Florida until these proceedings have terminated, and therefore Respondent shall maintain Petitioner's detention within the Southern District of Florida for the pendency of the Petition, and direct any applicable authorities to maintain the same." See (ECF No. 4) at 2. The Court recognizes Respondent's representation that Petitioner's transfer was prompted by safety concerns arising from the brush fires. Nevertheless, once a safe facility within this District becomes available, Respondent is ORDERED to immediately transfer Petitioner back to this District in compliance with the OTSC, even if the available facility is not Krome North Service Processing Center where Petitioner was previously housed. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Respondent shall file status reports every seven (7) days from the date of this Order, to continue until otherwise ordered by the Court, advising the Court of: (1) the status of the brush fires; and (2) whether a safe facility within this District is available to house Petitioner. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 7/2/2026. (hyn) Modified on 7/8/2026 (cqs). PER DE 11 . (Entered: 07/02/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondent's Status Report 9 as to Petitioner in response to the Court's Paperless Order Requiring Status Reports (ECF No. 8). Therein, as directed by the Court, Respondent advises that Petitioner was transferred back to Krome North Service Processing Center on July 4, 2026. (ECF No. 9) at 2. A search of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Online Detainee Locator System website found at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search on the date of this Order indicates that Petitioner has indeed been returned to Krome. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Status Update, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Court's Paperless Order Requiring Status Reports 8 is DISCHARGED and VACATED. Under the circumstances, and upon Petitioner's return to the District, the Court declines to impose any sanctions relating to Respondent's transfer of Petitioner in violation of the Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4). Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 7/7/2026. (hyn) (Entered: 07/07/2026)
