ORDER. The Clerk is directed to change the caption to reflect that the Warden of the Bluebonnet Detention Facility is the only proper respondent. The Court must deny the motion for immediate release on conditions because it improperly seeks the same ultimate relief sought in the petition. Petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel, Dkt. No. 6, is denied at this time. Acting or Current Field Office Director of the San Francisco ICE Field Office, DHS, Management and Training Corporation, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Acting or Current Attorney General of the United States and Acting or Current Director of ICE terminated.

ORDER. The Court concludes that Petitioner's Grounds 2(b) and 4 are not cognizable in this habeas action. These claims should be considercd, if at all, in the context of a civil-rights complaint. Thus, the Court separates Petitioner's conditions claims from this habeas petition and directs the Clerk to open a new civil-rights complaint with Petitioner's petition, Dkt. No. 1, as the originating document. The Clerk should file a copy of this order in the new case as well. The Clerk will mail to Petitioner a copy of this order, an application to proceed in forma paupeis, and a prisoner civil-rights complaint form marked with the new cause number. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 9/23/2026) (skh) (Entered: 09/23/2026)
