May 14, 2026

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Notice of Voluntary Departure Order and Motion for Relief from Order Restricting Transfer. 18 . Therein, Respondents move to vacate a portion of the Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4) that provides: "Petitioner is not to be transferred until these proceedings have terminated, and therefore Respondent shall maintain Petitioner's detention within the Southern District of Florida for the pendency of the Petition, and direct any applicable authorities to maintain the same[.]" (ECF No. 4) at 3. Here, an Immigration Judge granted Petitioner Kenya Nairobys Berroteran Guerra's ("Guerra") request for voluntary departure on May 7, 2026. See (ECF No. 18) at 1; (ECF No. 18-1). The Court finds that it is proper to vacate this restriction within the Order to Show Cause 4 just as to Petitioner Guerra. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise advised of the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion 18 is GRANTED. The Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4) is hereby VACATED as to Petitioner Guerra only. All provisions of the Order to Show Cause remain in force as to all other Petitioners in this action. Further, Respondents are DIRECTED to file a notice with the Court indicating when Petitioner Guerra has departed the United States and their custody, so that the Court can dismiss Guerra's Petition as moot. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 5/14/2026. (ss02) (Entered: 05/14/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Status Report. 22 . On May 14, 2026, the Court granted Respondents' Notice of Voluntary Departure Order and Motion for Relief from Order Restricting Transfer (ECF No. 18) and vacated its Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4) as to Petitioner Kenya Nairobys Berroteran Guerra ("Guerra") only. See (ECF No. 19). The Court further directed Respondents to "to file a notice with the Court indicating when Petitioner Guerra has departed the United States and their custody, so that the Court can dismiss Guerra's Petition as moot." See id. Respondents have now filed their Status Report, representing that Guerra "left the United States and the custody of Respondents on May 31, 202 6 ." See (ECF No. 22) at 1; see also (ECF No. 22-1) at 1. "Article III of the Constitution limits the jurisdiction of federal courts to 'cases' and 'controversies,' and the justiciability doctrine's main components include mootness." Djadju v. Vega, 32 F.4th 1102, 1106 (11th Cir. 2022) (cleaned up and citation omitted). "The doctrine of mootness derives directly from the case or controversy limitation because 'an action that is moot cannot be characterized as an active case or controversy.'" Soliman v. United States ex rel. INS, 296 F.3d 1237, 1242 (11th Cir. 2002) (citation omitted). A case is moot "when it no longer presents a live controversy with respect to which the court can give meaningful relief." Id. (citation omitted). "If events that occur subsequent to the filing of a lawsuit or an appeal deprive the court of the ability to give the plaintiff or appellant meaningful relief, then the case is moot and must be dismissed." Al Najjar v. Ashcroft, 273 F.3d 1330, 1336 (11th Cir. 2001). Here, Guerra's Petition alleged that Guerra's immigration detention was unlawful pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See generally (ECF No. 12). As Guerra is no longer detained by ICE, the Court no longer has jurisdiction over Guerra's Petition because it no longer presents a live controversy. See (ECF No. 22-1) at 1; see also Mehmood v. U.S. Att'y Gen., 808 F. App'x 911, 913 (11th Cir. 2020) ("[Petitioner's] petition for habeas corpus seeks relief from immigration detention, and that is relief we simply cannot provide because he is no longer detained by ICE."). Accordingly, this case is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to Guerra. All pending motions as to Guerra, if any, are DENIED AS MOOT. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 6/2/2026.
