ORDER signed by Chief District Judge Troy L.

Respondents are ENJOI NED from continuing to detain Petitioner Irbis M. (A# 215-557-446), while subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226, for more than 7 days from the date of this Order (unless Petitioner seeks additional time to prepare) without a bond hearing before a neutr al factfinder at which the government bears the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Petitioner's detention is justified due to danger to the public or flight risk. The factfinder must consider Petitioner's financial c ircumstances for bond and alternative conditions of release. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. If the government fails to meet its burden, Respondents must immediately release Petitioner. Respondents may imp ose any restrictions or conditions determined to be necessary by the factfinder at the hearing. Within 2 court days from the date of the bond hearing, Respondents must file a notice of compliance with this provision of the Court's Order confirm ing that the hearing occurred, the date of the hearing, the outcome of the hearing, and Petitioner's custody status. If Petitioner is released, Respondents are further ENJOINED from re-detaining Petitioner, while subject to 8 U.S.C. § 122 6, absent compliance with constitutional protections, including a minimum of seven-days' notice and a pre-deprivation hearing before a neutral factfinder where the government must establish by clear and convincing evidence that its interest in protecting the public or ensuring Petitioner appears at future immigration proceedings outweighs Petitioner's constitutionally protected interest in remaining free from detention such that no alternative to detention can mitigate that risk. At any such hearing, Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. The parties are advised that any further challenges related to Petitioner's current detention should be filed in this case, using the aforementioned case number (Case No. 1:26-cv-02092-TLN-EFB). Petitioner's request for attorney fees and costs is denied without prejudice to bringing a properly noticed and supported motion. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner and close the case. CASE CLOSED. (Deputy Clerk KLY)
