Accordingly, the Court GRANTS in part the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The government shall hold a bond hearing within fourteen days of this order, unless the noncitizen requests a continuance, at which the government bears the burden of establishing by clear and convincing evidence that the noncitizen poses a danger or flight risk. The government shall make a complete record of the bond hearing available to the noncitizen and his counsel at counsels request. The government is enjoined from transferring Petitioner before a bond hearing takes place.
