ORDER OF DISMISSAL
At the time the petitioner, Ignacio Aparicio Ramirez, filed this petition for a writ of
habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 , he was a detainee in the custody of United States
Department 	of Homeland 	Security, Immigration 	and 	Customs Enforcement ("ICE")
officials at the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas. Respondents advise that
Petitioner was removed from the United States on February 	17 , 2026. 	Doc. No. 8.
Petitioner does not dispute that he has been removed and that this case is moot.
Because the petitioner is no longer in custody and no controversy remains, his
petition must be dismissed as moot. 	See Spencer v. Kemna, 118 S. Ct. 978, 983 (1998)
(holding that a case becomes moot if it "no longer present[ s] a case or controversy under
Article III, § 2 of the Constitution" because "[t]he parties must continue to have a 'personal
stake in the outcome' of the lawsuit "' ) (quoting Lewis v. Cont 'l Bank Corp., 110 S. Ct.
1249, 1254 (1990)).
