Respondents are enjoined and restrained from arresting, detaining, or removing Petitioner s without notice and without a hearing before a neutral adjudicator to determine whether there are materially changed circumstances showing that Petitioners are a danger to the community or a flight risk, or that there is a significant likelihood tha t Petitioners may be deported in the reasonably foreseeable future; 2. This Preliminary Injunction shall take effect immediately and shall remain in effect pending resolution of the merits of the case or further order of this Court. 3. The Court exer cises its discretion to waive the requirement to post bond. Any further proceedings on the merits on the Petitions, including the issue of whether the Petitions are now moot, are referred to the assigned Magistrate Judge for resolution. Petitioners' motion to appear remotely at the hearing on March 23 is denied as moot. (Docket No. 16). (SEE DOCUMENT FOR FURTHER DETAILS). (aco)
