PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING STATUS REPORTS. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Notice of Transfer. 6 . Therein, Respondents represent that Petitioner was transferred to Baker Correctional Institution in the Northern District of Florida on June 21, 2026, due to "safety concerns posed by the brush fire." See id. at 1. Respondents maintain that "[w]hen the risk posed by the brush fires has been cleared, ICE ERO will identify individuals with pending habeas petitions and orders prohibiting transfer and return them to Krome." Id. The Court's Order to Show Cause (the "OTSC") orders: "Petitioner is not to be transferred until these proceedings have terminated, and therefore Respondents 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." See (ECF No. 4) at 3. The Court recognizes Respondents' representation that Petitioner's transfer was prompted by safety concerns arising from the brush fires. Nevertheless, once a safe facility within this District becomes available, Respondents are ORDERED to immediately transfer Petitioner back to this District in compliance with the OTSC, even if the available facility is not Krome North Service Processing Center where Petitioner was previously housed. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Respondents shall file status reports every seven (7) days from the date of this Order, to continue until otherwise ordered by the Court, advising the Court of: (1) the status of the brush fires; and (2) whether a safe facility within this District is available to house Petitioner. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 6/25/2026. (ss02) (Entered: 06/25/2026)

PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Respondents' Status Report 9 as to Petitioner Pablo Andres Betancourt Gonzalez in response to the Court's Paperless Order Requiring Status Reports (ECF No. 7). Therein, as directed by the Court, Respondents advise that: (1) "the security concerns from the brushfire have passed"; and (2) Petitioner was transferred back to Krome North Service Processing Center ("Krome") on June 30, 2026. See (ECF No. 9) at 1; see also (ECF No. 9-1) at 1. A search of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Online Detainee Locator System website found at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search on the date of this Order indicates that Petitioner has indeed been returned to Krome. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Status Report, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Court's Paperless Order Requiring Status Reports (ECF No. 7) is DISCHARGED and VACATED. Under the circumstances and Petitioner's return to the District, the Court declines to impose any sanctions relating to Respondents' transfer of Petitioner in violation of the Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4). Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 7/6/2026. (ss02) (Entered: 07/06/2026)
