ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's 1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus. In their Response, Respondents state that they "are not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition detailing the facts and circumstances of this case." Dkt. 7, p.2. Where, as here, "a party files a response to a motion but does not address all arguments which the motion raises, the party has effectively conceded the arguments which it does not address." Alfaro Herrera v. Baltazar, No. 1:25-cv-04014-CNS, 2026 WL 91470, at *5 (D. Colo. Jan. 13, 2026) (quoting Series 17-03-615 v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., 785 F. Supp. 3d 904, 935 (D. Kan. 2025)); see also C1.G ex rel C.G. v. Siegfried, 38 F.4th 1270, 1282 (10th Cir. 2022). And Courts in this District have granted petitions where the petitioner was arrested without a warrant. See Quezada-Estrada v. Lyons, No. 26-cv-01599, 2026 WL 1361880, at *6 (D. Colo. May 15, 2026); see also Ramirez Ovando v. Noem, 810 F. Supp. 3d 1209, 1226 (D. Colo. 2025). Accordingly, Petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.Furthermore, because Respondents have offered no lawful bases for his detention, particularly considering Petitioner's due process and warrantless arrest arguments, the Court concludes Petitioner is entitled to immediate release. Vargas Cardenas v. Bondi, No. 1:26-cv-01174-SKC, 2026 WL 886340, at *2 (D. Colo. Apr. 1, 2026). Therefore, Respondents SHALL immediately release Petitioner and SHALL FILE a status report within FIVE DAYS of this Order certifying compliance. By Judge S. Kato Crews on 10/19/2026.
