TEXT ORDER granting 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus: Before this Court is Petitioner Raili Alcides Santana Alcantara's Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. ECF No.1.

Respondents are ORDERED to file a status report within 14 calendar days of this Order stating whether Mr. Santana Alcantara has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.
