ORDER Before the Court is Petitioner's 1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus. In much appreciated candor to the Court, Respondents acknowledge that this case is not materially different from a case this Court previously decided, Diallo v. Baltazar, No. 1:25-cv-3548-SKC, 2026 WL 237296, at *1 (D. Colo. Jan. 29, 2026). Dkt. 10, p.1. Accordingly, this Court adopts and incorporates its reasoning from Diallo in full.Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's 1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:1.

Jan. 15, 2026) (concluding use of a GPS ankle monitor constitutes custody for the purposes of habeas corpus and due process);2. Respondents shall immediately release Mr. Singh from detention. However, if Mr. Singh resides outside of Colorado and is only in this state because Respondents transferred him here, Mr. Singh shall remain in Respondents temporary custody for the sole purpose of Respondents effectuating his return to his place of residence;3.
