ORDER and REPORTANDRECOMMENDATION

DAVID T. SCHULTZ, Magistrate Judge.

On July 13, 2018 Lar Po Kwe filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus challenging his continued detention pending deportation. Docket No. 1. On August 21, 2018 the Government filed a response stating that he had been deported on August 20, 2018, and thereafter filed a copy of the executed Warrant of Removal/Deportation. Response, Docket No. 9; Voss Second Decl. ¶ 3 and Ex. 2 (executed Warrant of Removal/Deportation), Docket Nos. 13, 13-1.

Article III of the United States Constitution limits the jurisdiction of the federal courts to actual, ongoing cases and controversies. Haden v. Pelofsky, 212 F.3d 466, 469 (8th Cir. 2000). "When, during the course of litigation, the issues presented in a case lose their life because of the passage of time or a change in circumstances . . . and a federal court can no longer grant effective relief, the case is considered moot." Id. (omission in original) (internal quotation marks omitted). Mootness deprives the Court of the power to act; there is nothing for the Court to remedy. Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 18 (1998).

Lar Po Kwe has been deported, and his habeas petition is thus moot. See Mhanna v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec. Citizenship & Immigration Servs., No. 10-cv-292, 2010 WL 5141803, at *12 (D. Minn. Dec. 13, 2010) ("To the extent that the Court could construe [petitioner's] request for relief as a reviewable habeas claim relating to his ICE detention, however, ICE's removal of [petitioner] from the United States renders any such claim moot.") (citing cases). Mootness deprives the Court of jurisdiction in this action.
