Respondents are ORDERED to file a status report with this Court within three (3) days of Petitioner's bond hearing and before any hearing on the merits, stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reason for that denial. In the event that Petitioner is released on bond. Respondents are ENJOINED from rearresting Petitioner, unless he has committed a new violation of any federal, state or local law, or has failed to attend any properly noticed immigration or court hearing or is subject to detention pursuant to a final order of removal. Should Petitioner be released on bond, Respondents are FURTHER ENJOINED from invoking the automatic stay provision at 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(i)(2). It is so ORDERED. Signed by District Judge David J.
