(1) If a person in respect of whom a removal order has been made is not conveyed out of Samoa within 48 hours after the order has issued, the person shall be brought before a Judge to determine, in accordance with subsection (2), whether the person should be detained in custody or released pending removal from Samoa.

(2) If a person is brought before a Judge under subsection (1), the Judge may, if the Judge is satisfied that the person is the person named in the order -
