ORDER RE PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION by Judge Valerie Baker Fairbank: Petitioner's application for a preliminary injunction is GRANTED. The Court rejects the respondents' specious argument that the TRO's release of petitioner from ICE dete ntion somehow mooted the entire habeas corpus petition and PI application. It is obvious that the habeas corpus petition sought and seeks far more relief than merely release from ICE detention, and that this Court's recent TRO awarded more relie f than merely release from ICE detention. Pending final judgment herein and the resolution of any ensuing appeals, respondents continue to be enjoined from imposing additional monitoring restrictions on Petitioner; and from re-detaining Petitioner ab sent the government's demonstration, at a pre-deprivation bond hearing, by clear and convincing evidence, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community, such that his physical re-detention is required. No later than Friday, 3/27/20 26, respondents shall file a notice of compliance confirming that they have returned any confiscated property to Petitioner, including, but not limited to, identification and employment authorization documents. Petitioner is not required to pay a security bond in this matter. (gk)
