United States v. Rogan

United States v. Rogan

Detention on the primary ground was unnecessary because Mr. Rogan had complied with long‑standing IRB bail conditions for nearly five years, had no valid travel document, no demonstrated desire to flee to the United States, no history of using false travel documents, and the secondary and tertiary grounds were not established; accordingly release on own recognizance with strict reporting and surrender conditions was ordered.
