Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The Government purports to detain petitioner -- the subject of a final order of dismissal more than ninety days old -- pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(6). In Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), the Supreme Court read an implicit limitation into § 1231(a)(6) that any post-removal period of detention may not exceed the "period reasonably necessary to bring about that alien's removal from the United States." Id. at 689. Although a detention of up to six months is presumptively reasonable under Zadvydas, Zadvydas does not give the government free reign to confine aliens. Id. at 701. Detention is only permissible "until it has been determined that there is no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future." Id.Petitioner is ordered to show cause by January 19, 2026, why there is no significant likelihood he will be removed from the country in the reasonably foreseeable future, such that his detention is unlawful under Zadvydas.(RGS, law3) (Entered: 01/08/2026)
