ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND DIRECTING RETENTION OF PETITIONER AT MOSHANNON PROCESSING CENTER PENDING FURTHER ORDER. Counsel for Respondents shall file a notice of appearance within 3 days of this Order. In light of the caselaw set forth in the Petition and supporting materials in support of relief, Respondents are further ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE by a filing on the docket of this Court within 14 days of the date of this Order demonstrating good cause as to why the Court should not grant the Petition and order Petitioner's immediate release from detention if prior to the date of this Order, a bond hearing as to Petitioner's custody has not been completed with a bond/release decision by an Immigration Judge. In such filing the Respondents shall also confirm: (1) the statutory basis for Petitioner's initial and continued detention; (2) if Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a), whether there is a final order of removal for Petitioner, when it became final, whether it was reinstated, when it was reinstated, and Respondents' position as to when any mandatory detention period has expired; (3) if Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a), whether Respondents complied with all required laws and regulations cited by Petitioner, including providing Petitioner the opportunity to contest reinstatement of a removal order, performing a custody review, providing Petitioner with a written custody determination and reason for continued detention, and obtaining a warrant of removal authorizing Petitioner's detention; (4) whether Petitioner has received a credible fear determination or hearing and whether Petitioner has any fear-based claims pending; (5) in light of the answers to the foregoing, whether there is a significant likelihood of removal of Petitioner in the reasonably foreseeable future; and (6) addressing all arguments made in the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Respondents are hereby ORDERED to file any further Response to all of Petitioner's arguments made in his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) within the same fourteen (14) day period.
