Petitioner may file a reply within two days of the filing of the answer. The Government shall not transfer Petitioner out of the Elizabeth Contract Detention Center until this matter concludes. The Government shall further inform the Court of any transfer of Petitioner out of the Elizabeth Contract Detention Center within twenty-four hours of its occurrence, including those which predate the Court's injunction on transfers. Finally, the United States Attorney's Office shall immediately file a letter on the Court's public docket if an Order of the Court is violated in connection with this case.
