Kan. 2025)); see also C1.G ex rel C.G. v. Siegfried, 38 F.4th 1270, 1282 (10th Cir. 2022). Accordingly, Petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.Furthermore, because Respondents have offered no lawful bases for his detention, the Court concludes Petitioner is entitled to immediate release.
