The Response MUST identify:(1)(2)(3)(4)Petitioners alleged country of birth;3Petitioners alleged date of entry and statutory basis for removability;Petitioners previous immigration detention history, if any;4 and Petitioners alleged immigration status.5Additionally, because this case appears to turn on whether Petitioners detention without a bondhearing violates the due process rights afforded to noncitizens who have established a presence in theUnited States, Respondents MUST consider the prior orders addressing this question6 and note any material factual differences between those cases and this one. If Respondents so choose, in lieuof a full response, they may instead file a response indicating that there are no material factualdifferences here and preserving all legal arguments made by the Federal Respondents in those cases.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner elects to file a reply, Petitioner may do so nolater than seven (7) days after the Respondents file their answers/responses.IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that any possible or anticipated transfer of Petitioner isIMMEDIATELY STAYED7 until further order from this Court.
