ORDER

Petitioner Nashwan Ahmed Ali (A47-793-071), who is confined in the Immigration

Service Processing Center in Florence, Arizona, has filed a pro se Petition for Writ of

Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The five dollar filing fee has been paid.

Petitioner alleges that immigration officials are holding him in detention pending his

removal from the United States, but that his removal cannot be effected. Pet it ioner argues

that he is entitled to immediate release from custody because his indefinite detention with

no prospect that his removal will be effected in t he reasonably foreseeable future is not

authorized by law. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001) (when there is no

reasonable likelihood that a foreign government will accept an alien’s return in the

reasonably foreseeable future, the INS may not detain the alien for more than the

presumptively reasonable period of six months); Clark v. Mart inez , 125 S. Ct. 716 (2005)

(extending the holding in Zadvydas to inadmissible aliens). An answer will be required.1
