arguments during the imminent bond hearing;
4. 	The Government is temporarily enjoined from re-detaining Carlos Roberto
Hernandez until no earlier than October 23, 2026, and should Respondents choose to pursue re-

5. 	Pending the ordered bond hearing, the Government SHALL NOT remove,
transfer, or otherwise facilitate the removal of Petitioner from the Commonwealth of

unforeseen or emergency circumstances arise that require Petitioner to be removed, any such
request must include an explanation for the request as well as a proposed destination.
