MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER re: 15 LETTER MOTION for Conference addressed to Judge John G. Koeltl from Elyssa Williams, counsel for Petitioner dated November 7, 2025. filed by G.F.F.. The Court has considered all the arguments raised by the parties. If any argument was not specifically addressed, it is either moot or without merit. For the foregoing reasons, the petition is granted in part. Within seven calendar days of this Memorandum Opinion and Order, the immigration court must either hold a bond hearing at which the Government bears the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that G.F.F. is a risk of flight or a danger to the community, or release G.F.F. In determining whether to grant bond, the IJ shall consider the availability of alternative conditions of release, and in determining the amount of any bond imposed, the IJ shall consider G.F.F.'s ability to pay. The petition is denied in part to the extent G.F.F. seeks immediate release until his renewed bond hearing. The Clerk is respectfully directed to close ECF Nos. 1 and 15, and to close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John G. Koeltl on 11/10/2025) (ks) (Entered: 11/10/2025)
