Heading: Rashid's request to be returned to the United States

Text: Finally, Rashid has requested that, if he prevails on appeal, the government be required to fund his return to the United States so that he can apply for cancellation of removal. But his only citation in support of this argument is to Califano v. Yamasaki, 442 U.S. 682, 705, 99 S.Ct. 2545, 61 L.Ed.2d 176 (1979), which addressed the power of federal courts to issue injunctions. He also makes a general plea under the broad scope of equitable relief generally available to courts in order to fully accomplish justice. In response, the government indicated in a footnote to its brief that, should we decide that further administrative proceedings are required (a point it now explicitly argues in favor of), there is no basis for assuming that the Government would not return [Rashid] to the United States, if necessary to conduct those proceedings. Based on the government's apparent concession that it will return Rashid to the United States for the proceedings that we now require, any dispute regarding this issue can be resolved by the BIA.
