Opinions

JUDGMENT

The district court’s judgment ordering the release of petitioner under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is reversed because the district court erred in concluding that “there is no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.” See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 701, 121 S.Ct. 2491, 150 L.Ed.2d 653 (2001). The United States Supreme Court has granted certio-rari in Mr. Jama’s immigration case, and we believe that the Court will decide the case in a reasonable time and that it would be wrong to conclude that there is no significant likelihood that the government will prevail.
