Summary

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio dismissed without prejudice a noncitizen’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his continued immigration detention. The court held that the petition named improper respondents because the ICE field office director with authority over the petitioner’s detention, Kevin Raycraft, was not a party, and no extraordinary circumstances justified departing from the immediate-custodian rule. The court also denied the petitioner’s remaining motions as moot.
