September 17, 2026 Filing 3 TEXT ORDER: The petitioner alleges that he is being held in immigration detention by federal authorities, but the only named respondent is a state official. A person who is subject to service of process and whose joinder will not deprive the court of subject-matter jurisdiction, however, must be joined as a party if in that person's absence, the Court cannot accord complete relief, or the person has an interest in the subject of the action that might not be protected if the action was disposed of in the person's absence. Fed. R. Civ. P. 19(a)(1); see also Rivero-Tapanes v. Rokosky, No. 26-CV-1542, 2026 WL 1469826 (D. Ariz. May 26, 2026).
