ORDER

Petitioner Mohammed Ali filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, arguing that

his detention for four years while his removal proceedings have been pending is unlawful.

(Dkt. 1). This matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Duncan for Report and

Recommendation ("R & R"). Magistrate Judge Duncan issued a R & R in accordance

with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (Dkt. 12). The R & R recommends that the Court grant

the Petition and that the Court either order Petitioner's release from custody under an

order of supervision, or, in the alternative, order Respondents to provide a hearing to

Petitioner within sixty (60) days of its Order before an Immigration Judge with the power

to grant him bail unless Respondents establish that he is a flight risk or will be a danger to

the community. (Dkt. 12). 

Respondents filed their Objections to the R & R. (Dkt. 15). Petitioner filed a

Declaration in response to Respondents' Objections to the Report and Recommendation. 

(Dkt. 17). Petitioner filed a Response to Government's Objections together with a

Declaration. (Dkts. 18-19).
