Zavvar v. Scott

D. Md. · September 8, 2025

Court D. Md.
Decided September 8, 2025
Docket 25-2104-TDC
Citation 2025 WL 2592543
Judge Theodore D. Chuang, United States District Judge
Disposition Relief granted in part
Nationality Iran
Third country Australia and Romania

Detention is not authorized by section 1231(a)(6) because, with withholding granted as to Iran and no response from Australia or Romania, there is no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.

Caution The six-month Zadvydas presumption was assumed without deciding to apply; the third-country notice claim was stayed because the petitioner is a D.V.D. class member, so the court did not rule on what process is due before a third-country removal; the separate order carrying the decretal terms of release is not in the file.
