Release from Immigration Custody
May 01, 2007OUTCOME: Client was released from ICE custody
After the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) had detained Mr. Bah for 891 days (approximately 2.5 years), the U.S. District Court of Minnesota granted Mr. Bah’s petition for writ of habeas ... corpus and ordered his release from ICE custody. Mr. Bah argued that his continued detention was unlawful under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), which held that the statutory provision governing detention of aliens subject to removal orders does not authorize indefinite detention. The District Court agreed and found that Mr. Bah established that he had been detained for more than six unencumbered months after his removal order became final and that his removal is not significantly likely in the reasonably foreseeable future. Mr. Bah was released from custody on May 4, 2007 pursuant to the District Court’s order and is actively pursuing his application for adjustment of status before the Immigration Court.
