PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Petitioner's "Pro Se Request for Copy of Respondents' Response and for Status of Government's Position" ("Motion") (DE 7 ) filed on September 3, 2026. In the Motion, Petitioner contends Respondent failed to provide him with a copy of the response (DE 6 ) to the Court's Order to Show Cause(DE 6 ). Review of the Response (DE 6 ) reveals that it does not contain a certificate of service indicating that a copy was mailed to Petitioner. Thus, it is unclear whether Respondent did, in fact, mail a copy of their response to Petitioner at his address of record. Further, Petitioner requests "clarification of the government's position concerning his removal and detention." Id. at 2. Accordingly, upon review of the Motion, pertinent portions of the record, and applicable law, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Petitioner's Motion (DE 7 ) is GRANTED. On or before September 18, 2026, Respondent shall mail a copy of their response and any attachments thereto to the Petitioner and file a notice with the Court that this has been accomplished, as ordered. Respondent shall also file a supplemental notice with the Court explaining in detail what efforts, if any, have been made by immigration officials and/or the Petitioner to effectuate Petitioner's "voluntary" departure as referenced in their September 8, 2026 "Notice of Voluntary Departure." Petitioner may but is not required to file a reply on or before September 25, 2026. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams (nn) (Entered: 09/15/2026)
