Minute Entry for proceedings held before Chief District Judge Cynthia Bashant: Motion Hearing/Oral Argument Hearing held on 2/27/2026. For the reasons stated on the record Petition is granted. For the reasons stated on the record, Court finds Petitioner's detention has been unreasonably and arbitrarily prolonged. Government is ordered to hold a bond hearing within 14 days of todays date. At the bond hearing, Government has the burden of establishing by clear and convincing evidence the Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk. Concerns about interrupting Court schedules is not a ground for denying bond. If a bond hearing is not held within 14 days, Petitioner is ordered released forthwith. The Clerk is directed to close the case. (Court Reporter/ECR Anne Roldan). (Plaintiff Attorney Katherine Hurrelbrink). (Defendant Attorney Michael Garabed).
