The Court, having conducted a detention hearing pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), and

based upon the factual findings and statement of reasons for detention hereafter set forth, finds

substance containing a detectable amount of heroin with the intent to distribute.

(2) Defendant is believed to have been born in Mexico and in this country without

permission. There is little additional information available about his personal history, residence,

family ties, ties to this District, income, financial assets or liabilities, physical/mental health or

controlled substance use if any.

(3) An immigration detainer has been placed by BICE. Based on this, the defendant

does not contest detention.

(4) The defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to his status as a native and

citizen of Mexico in this country illegally, the BICE detainer and unknown background

information. He poses a risk of danger due to the nature of the instant offense.

(5) There does not appear to be any condition or combination of conditions that will

reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings while addressing the danger

to other persons or the community.

It is therefore ORDERED:

(1) Defendant shall be detained pending trial and committed to the custody of the

Attorney General for confinement in a correction facility separate, to the extent

practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody

pending appeal;

(2) Defendant shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with

counsel;

(3) On order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the

Government, the person in charge of the corrections facility in which defendant is
