ORDER BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE CHRISTINA T. SHAY: On September 23, 2026, Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus which alleged that he was arrested without a warrant. (ECF No. 1, at 3.) On September 30, 2026, Respondents filed an Answer that did not rebut this claim or acknowledge in any way that Petitioner had raised it; nor was a copy of the warrant provided. (ECF No. 7 .) The Court notes, however, that the Form I-213 for Petitioner attached to the Answer suggests that a warrant may have existed. (ECF No. 7 - 1, at 2.) Given the centrality of the existence of the warrant to Petitioner's claims, the Court ORDERS Respondents to file, no later than seven days from the date of this Order, a copy of the warrant for Petitioner's arrest. It is so ordered. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (dgv) TEXT ONLY ENTRY (Entered: 10/23/2026)
