ENDORSED ORDER. The six-month presumptively reasonable period has expired without Petitioner's removal. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). Thus, the Government is directed to show, by May 19, 2026, that there is a significant likelihood of Petitioner's removal in the reasonably foreseeable future. Failure to respond will result in Petitioner's release without further notice. If Petitioner has refused removal, further details must be provided about those attempted removals. Signed by District Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 5/12/2026. (BLW) (Entered: 05/12/2026)
