Respondents are ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from re- arresting or re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with constitutional protections, including seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral fact-finder where Respondents show: (a) material changed circumstances demonstrate a significant likelihood of Petitioner's removal in the reasonably foreseeable future, or (b) Respondents demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence before a neutral decisionmaker that Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present; Respondents are ENJOINED from keeping Petitioner's documents and possessions, including passport, driver's license, EAD, mobile phone, and any other items belonging to Petitioner.
