1. Within thirty days of the date of this order, Respondents shall identify all members of the Section 1225(b) and Section 1226(c) Subclasses and provide each of them with a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge with power to grant their release.

The bond hearings shall be recorded, so that transcriptions will be available in the event of any appeal. 3. Within thirty days of the date of this Order, Respondents shall develop a system to timely identify all future Subclass members and ensure that they receive such bond hearings.
