Order And Notice of Deficiency
#7
Sep 14, 2026
ORDER. Petitioner filed a motion seeking immediate release on conditions or a bond redetermination hearing. Dkt. No. 4 . Petitioner's motion appears to request the same relief sought in her habeas petition. She requests that the Court order her immediate release or a bond hearing on a preliminary basis, Dkt. No. 4; but the ultimate relief she seeks in the petition is also release from custody or a bond hearing, Dkt. No. 1 at 7. Thus, the motion is denied.Petitioners petition remains pending. Once the filing fee deficiency is cured, the Court will enter a separate order requiring the respondent to file an answer and setting a briefing schedule. The Clerk is directed to change the caption to reflect that the Warden of the Bluebonnet Detention Center is the only proper respondent. All other named respondents will be terminated from this civil action. Markwayne Mullin (Secretary of Homeland Security), Todd Blanche (Acting Attorney General) and Field Office Director of the Dallas Field Office terminated. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 9/14/2026) (amg) (Entered: 09/14/2026)
