seventeen months. The district court1

 adopted the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation

for release on June 1, 2004, after de novo review. On June 17, 2004, the Government

appealed this ruling.

Upon review of the briefs and case law, including Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S.

678 (2001); Jama v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 1117 (8th Cir. 2004); Jama v. INS, 329 F.3d

630 (8th Cir. 2003), cert. granted, 124 S. Ct. 1407 (2004); and Ali v. Ashcroft, 346

F.3d at 880-86, this court is convinced the district court properly ordered Ali’s release

pursuant to Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 701 and Ali, 346 F.3d at 886.

The case is remanded to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS),

now known as the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE)

organized under the Department of Homeland Security. Upon remand, the INS shall

set forth conditions of Petitioner’s supervised release. The INS is instructed to

terminate Ali’s incarceration as soon as possible.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
