Was the denial of bail excessive?

Under Massachusetts law, the purpose of setting bail is to "reasonably assure the appearance of the person before the court" and to ensure that the person "will not endanger the safety of any other person or the community." State troopers lawfully entered an apartment to arrest Querubin and another. They fled. The police found twenty-two kilograms of seventy-nine per cent pure cocaine in the apartment with a street value of approximately $ 2.2 million. Querubin was indicted and captures by border patrol agents at Las Cruces, New Mexico, as he attempted to flee into Mexico. At a bail hearing, Querubin argued the weaknesses in the Commonwealth's case, the lack of any connection between him and the apartment, his lack of a criminal record, and his claimed right to political asylum (his brother had been granted political asylum). The judge ordered that Querubin be detained without bail pending trial. What will be an ideal response?
