The attached order of the immigration judge specifies that this voluntary departure shall be "under safeguards." ECF [14-1], at 4. "[T]he term 'voluntary departure with safeguards' is commonly used to characterize the requirement that a [noncitizen] remain in custody until he or she departs from the United States." Matter of M-A-S-, 24 I&N Dec. 762, 766 (BIA 2009); see also Matter of Javier Salazar Rojo, No. AXXX-XX6-903, 2023 WL 9503619, at *1 n.1 (BIA Jul. 18, 2023) ("The Immigration Judge granted the respondent 'voluntary departure under safeguards,' meaning that the respondent would remain detained until his departure."). The Court will hold a call with the parties on the afternoon of March 4, 2026 to discuss the petitioner's release request. By March 3, 2026, the respondents shall submit their position on how the immigration judge's recent grant of voluntary departure under safeguards impacts this case. Signed by Judge Deborah L.
