ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Dkt. 1. In their Response, Respondents states that they "are not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition detailing the facts and circumstances of this case." Dkt. 7, p.1. 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). Accordingly, Petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.In addition, Respondents state that appropriate relief in this matter would be to order Petitioner's release, and the Court agrees. Therefore, Respondents SHALL immediately release Petitioner under reasonable conditions to be set by DHS and SHALL FILE a status report within FIVE DAYS of this Order certifying compliance.SO ORDERED by Judge S.
