Bond, focused on the government’s interpretation of the “voluntary departure” date for a period of 60 days, which the authorities can use to allow some immigrants who consider a “good moral figure” to leave the United States on their own terms at this time.

In his opinion, the 60 -day period imposed by the government is clear, and it must include weekends.
