TEXT ORDER re 9 Letter, filed by Kristi Noem, in her official capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, Joseph E. Freden, Todd Lyons, his official capacity as Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Stephen Kurzdorfer, in his official capacity as Field Office Director, ICE Buffalo Field Office, Pamela Bondi. The respondents have filed a letter, Docket Item 9, indicating that an immigration judge held a bond hearing in compliance with this Court's order, Docket Item 8, and denied release because "the Department of Homeland Security met their burden of proof as to danger," see Docket Item 9 at 2. If the petitioner believes there are any further issues properly before this Court, the petitioner may show cause within 14 days of this order. If the petitioner does not show cause why issues remain before this Court within 14 days, the Clerk of Court shall close this case without further order. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. Lawrence J.

TEXT ORDER: On December 11, 2025, this Court ordered Immigration Judge Brian J. Counihan to either "issue a more fulsome written order that explains his reasons for finding by clear and convincing evidence that [the petitioner, Daniel] Silva Caires is a danger to the community or a flight risk" or "hold a new bond hearing for Silva Caires that complies with this Court's November 20, 2025 order." Docket Item 17 . On December 18, 2025, Silva Caires received a new bond hearing at which Judge Counihan denied bond. See Docket Item 18 . More specifically, the bond order states that Judge Counihan found that "the Department of Homeland Security [had] met their burden of proof as to danger to property." Id. at 3. The government "anticipate[s that this] relates to [Silva Caires]'s being involved in a car accident and leaving the scene, evincing danger to the community and disregard for the law." Id. at 1. The government has "requested the digital audio recording in order to have a transcript prepared, should [Silva Caires] wish to challenge the holding of this bond hearing as noncompliant with this Court's Order." Id. In light of the above, Silva Caires's motion to enforce, Docket Item 13, is DENIED AS MOOT WITHOUT PREJUDICE. On or before January 12, 2026, Silva Caires may move to enforce this Court's November 20, 2025 order with respect to his second bond hearing. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. Lawrence J. Vilardo on 12/22/2025. (DDC) (Entered: 12/22/2025)
