Procedural preferences
When an ordered immigration bond hearing does not apply the prescribed burden or provide substantive reasoning, he may order release rather than require the petitioner to repeat the same process.
“Requiring him to undergo yet another sham bond hearing, as the Government would have it, in the Court’s view would only add further insult to the constitutional injury to which Petitioner has already been subjected. This the Court will not do. Accordingly, the Court will order Quiroz Zacarias’s immediate release.”
