![Hanna placed the noose around Bethea's neck, adjusted it, and then signaled to Hash to pull the trigger. Instead, Hash, who was drunk, did nothing. Hanna shouted at Hash, "Do it!" A deputy then leaned onto the trigger, which sprang the trap door. citation needed! Bethea fell 8 feet (2.4 m), and his neck was instantly broken.
Afterward, two doctors confirmed he was dead.

![When an individual is at risk of indefinite detention, due process requires at least more than skimming the record for the first time at a twenty-eight minute hearing. However, as Petitioner does not press this argument, the Court need not base its decision on this issue. Therefore, this Court holds that the immigration judge’s decision failed to comply with this Court’s previous order and due process. The evidence before the immigration judge on both the flight risk and dangerousness determinations was plainly deficient of standard for clear and convincing evidence. 3.4 Petitioner’s Case Warrants Immediate Release Petitioner argues that he should be released because “[r]emand for a second bond hearing . . . would not adequately remedy the government’s constitutional violation” and “credible evidence suggests that the immigration court system across the country is systematically rigging bond hearings against noncitizen detainees.” ECF No. 24 at 19–20. Respondents do not argue regarding the specific remedy proposed. Because Petitioner’s uncontested evidence on the systematic bias of the immigration judges is compelling, the Court agrees. Therefore, the Court will order that Petitioner be immediately released.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreifm22z324wyujmfhxjws2eefaunxu7vck4ld7omsxzliiebvgqs4y)
