    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On July 24, 2001, at 66 FR 38433, the Department of Justice published in the Federal Register the text of a memorandum issued by the Attorney General in response to the Supreme Court's judgment in Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. _, 121 S.Ct. 2491 (2001). The Memorandum directed the former Acting Commissioner of the Service, among other things, to begin accepting written requests for release for detained aliens subject to removal orders who contend that there is no significant likelihood that the Service will be able to remove them in the reasonably foreseeable future. These interim procedures apply to aliens who are subject to final orders of removal, except that the procedures do not apply to detained arriving aliens, including arriving aliens who have been paroled into the United States under section 212(d)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

    Any detained alien who believes that he or she may be eligible for release under the Zadvydas decision, should submit a written request for release, along with supporting documentation, to: U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Headquarters, Post-Order Detention Unit, 801 I Street NW., Suite 900, Washington DC 20536.
