The Government is prohibited from transferring or removing Petitioner from the District of New Mexico while this case remains pending, absent a final order of removal. Finally, the Clerk's Office shall confirm the docket lists the following Respondents: the facility Warden; Acting ICE Director, Acting ICE Field Director; Acting U.S. Attorney General; and Secretary Markwayne Mullin.[THIS IS A TEXT-ONLY ENTRY.
