    n ovember , 200, he paries again appeared bere the Cou r a bond heng. he

    Dpaent again argued tat Responden should not receive a bond, alleng that he is a ighris and ha he is dangerous Aer considerng he proers and docuents proid by hepaies, he Cou und tha Respondent was not dangerous, bu set he bond a$50,000, and

    imposd various ondiions reon, ven that Responden as been conicted in absentia andhe cirumsances suounding the conition. However, based upon his ties to the comunityand oher ors, he Cou believes tat a bond with hese conditions is sucient o assure hisappearance a her hearings.

    I. taemen of the Law

    For persons wo are no iing aiens (8 C.F.. Section 003. l ()(2)(i)(B)}, deportable oncerain cminal ounds as specied under Section 236( c) o the Act, or claied to be subject omadao deenion related to povisions r suspeced eoriss under ecion 236A of the A, 1an mmiation Judge may deteine wheher o hold an alien without bond or se a bond, in the

    minimu amount of$1,500. ee ection 236(a} of the At. Under ection 236(a)(2}(A), theminimum bond mus be a least $500 and an Imiation Judge an prescibe "conditions rhe release on bond. Persons shoud not be deained or ruired to pos a bond uness i isdeteind that he or she is a hea to secuity or a poor bai ris. ee e.g. Mater of Pael, 5I&N Dec. 666 (BIA 176). However, alien mus establish hat his or her reease woud notpose a dger to he comiy in order to be considered r a bond. See Matter o Urena, 25I&N Dec. 140 (BA 200).

    III. Factors Considered

    Responden in this matter is a hiryhree year-old single male, naie and ciizen of theDominican Repubi who was aditted o he United Sates on July 8, 2000 as a visitor. Hispaents are United Saes itiens, and they appeared in Cou to suppo his reques r bond.His aunt and uncle aso appear in Cour in suppor of his applicaion.

    he Dominic Rpublic in Augus of 6, urteen years ago, wen Responden waseigheen-yeas-old,he clais he "acidenl sho and ill his bes iend. e moh and

    uncle o the vitim appeared in opposition o Responden's bond request. The ictims unclestaed tha while i was aleged hat the shooing was accident, the autopsy repo shows thevictim was sho in the bac of the head. See ond Exhibit 6. The saeents tat appear to havebeen taen in August 6 during the investigaion of the incident do show that Responden andthe victim were iends. See Bond Exibi a 1. appears hat Responden was a PoliceOer. Id.. For he mos pa, e staemens reveal tha Responden was arguing wth thevictimbecause he did no wat he vicim to dre aer he had been dning alcohol o excess.ee ond Exibi a 2, . Several winesses state hat esponden's gun went o accidenly in

    he Department has not arged ha Responden was no eligbe r bond since he issubjec o mandao deention.

    a ste ,but one witness said Respondent had been "playn at thrown ocks at thevictim earlier in te evenn and played at pointin his un at people. Id at l 45

    Respondent was aested based on tis event and iven a bond in 997. Sometime theeae,

    he le the Dominican Republic, oin to Mexico, and hen to the Unted States.

    2000, Respondent was "convict n abentaof mude, based on the 996 incident, te Dominic Rpublic. It is unclear whete this will constitute a "convction. S 9 FA40.2(a). At one point, the Depaent attoey indicat that he believ that the DominicanRepublic would seek to retry he Respondent

    Snce livin in te United States, Respondent has v an open, pubic listyle and has notbeen "n hidin In 2004, his ten wi led a visa pettion Respondent wt theDepent of Homeland Secuity. e has a gmembesip, is enroled in collee, and hada onstandin cebook account. See Bond Exhibit B2, at tabs J. As noted earlie, he

    has close family tie in te Unt States and has iends here.

    Respondent ha not been aest r a crme n any coutry since 997.

    Te vctims uncle, Pedro Tejada, stated that Respondent is a t sk because he umpbailonce i te Dominica Republc and "hs famly will o to ay lents not to submt to tejuisdiction of the justce system in te Dominica Republic.

    I Analsis

    First and eost, the Cout must make a deteination of wheter Respondent is a danertothe commun. See Matte of Urena, 25 I& Dec. 40 (BIA 2009). The Cou nds thatRespondent is not daneous.

    ile Respondent committed a oible crime, the circumstaces show it is not lkely torecur. Respondent has conceded that n 996, he shot and killed a an From most accounts,this dd not appea to be intentiona; however, by at least one accout it could have been ecklessOne of te wiesses, as noted above, did claim hat Respondent was eckless in payn atthrowin ocks and waivin is un aound. It is also noted, as the ctims uncle stated, at evictim was sot in the back of the head Tain a l is the most seious cme that can becommitted, but te cicumstances hee indicate that it is not likely to recu. The sonest cto

    showin that it is not likely to recu is that it has been over a decade almost a decade and onehalf since this event and Respondent has not had a sine aest. addition, the eventhappened wen he was very youn; he has matured and displayed bette judent since hatte he Cou also notes the ctos suestin the unntentional natue of hs crime otnthat alcohol appeared to ave been a ctor in the shootn, in an abundance of caution, and wth

    cosent of espodent, the Cour imposed the conditio that he not consume any alcohol oruprescrbed dg upo his reease. he Court beliees, regardess, hat based o thecircst of the crime ad sice it appears to be a abatio i a otheise awl i. Hedid not coit ay cimes bere or aer espodent was i ct a police ocer at the time it

    was comitted. He had chose a life in law enrcement, showig soe respect r the aw.Based o al the ctors, espondet has show he is ot dagerous

    The Cout must also cosidr wheher espondet is a ight risk. he Cout ds, en euiti that espodet has i the Uit States, a hi bod with coditions will assure thatespondent copies with he requireents under the aw.

    espondent has ot bee in hiding ad has made aempts to legaize his status with theDpent of Homeld Secuity. He applied r and receied a bih certicate om his owncoun whie i the Uited States. He maed ad his wi applied r a isa r him. He has

    beeopen in all his dealings in the United States He has fily ad has ade a li wih iends

    here.

    The Depamet contends also hat espondet is a ight isk because "there is a e songpossibility' at he will be exadited aer the remoal procdig. Howeer, Respodetsatoey prored that he ad his fiy recoie the eed to submit to the Domiicaublic's chages ad hae hired a attoey there.

    espondet olunteered to be put o a eleconicoitog systm, but the Depaent didnot aee to his request. There is o pubished case law as to whether the Cour ca order thatRespodent be plac o elecoic moitorig as a codition of his release ude Sectio236(a)(2)(A) of the Act, but the Cou declies to issue such a order at this time. The Cou

    beliees the high bod d conditios are eou to assue Respondent will not ee, ad notesthat he ct that Respondent olunteered r such monitorig is also eidece hat he is not aight risk.

    he bond of $50,000 is a high bod r miatio Court. Wile it was ay yeas ago, theBoad of mmiation Appeals uphed a ower bod under factors much worse than this case. Matter ofSugay, 17 &N Dec. 637 (BA 8), the Board upheld a bod of$30,000 r aindidual who had bee dened relef at an mmgraton hearng, had no stable employmentor ose famy es, ad been onvted of murder n the Phppnes and ed when thease was on appea, ad been arrested r a volent rme n the Unted States, and ed INSapprehenson. Ulike the case i Sugay, espodet has not been deied relief (he will seekcacellation of remoal), he has close famiy ties in the Uit States (US. citizen pents) hehas bee admitt to school here, he has not been aested in the Uited States, ad did ot eeor resist detetion DHS Wile the aw ay hae eoed to the extent that today Suayhiself would not be released because of dagerousness issues (athough the case did otexplicitly address that issue ad has not been directly oeled), the Cout beliees that, as ithat case, settig a hi bond will assure that Respondet is ot a ight sk.
