'The Petition also named as a respondent Jeffrey Crawford in his official capacity as Warden of Immigration Centers for America in Farmville ("ICA-Farmville"), the facility at which petitioner is detained. In response, Crawford has asserted that he "is a private employee as opposed to a government actor and ... is therefore named solely as a nominal respondent in this case," and that he "takes no position on the legal basis of petitioner's immigration detention but, to the extent required to do so, incorporates by reference any response filed by the United States Attorney's Office on behalf ofthe other respondents."[Dkt. 10 ^ 1].
