Accordingly, the Court finds the following order should be entered: IT IS ORDERED that, by March 5, 2025, Respondent will confirm with this Court whether Petitioner has been removed from the United States. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, no later than March 7, 2025, Petitioner shall show cause, in writing, as to whether her removal changes the posture of this case or any arguments made in support, including: • whether the Court has jurisdiction to consider the habeas petition of a person already removed from the United States; and • whether Petitioner’s removal moots her habeas petition. Also, Petitioner shall provide relevant authority in support of her contentions.' And Petitioner must include in her response Petitioner’s immigration status prior to December 2024, including the specific type of visa she was issued and dates of issuance and expiration, if in the United States lawfully. Respondent shall file an expedited response no later than March 10, 2025. No reply will be allowed. IT IS SO ORDERED.
