ANNOTATION: The ability of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau (ICE) to comply with the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling on the lawlessness of indefinite detention in Zadvydas v. Davis is assessed. Observations made by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) include: ICEs case management system does not help assure timely custody reviews and hampers ICEs ability to determine whether the reviews are consistent with the Zadvydas decision; ICE lacks assurance that aliens released on orders of supervision met the conditions of their release; and ICE has had some success working with the Department of State when travel documents are difficult to obtain. Recommendations, ICEs response, and the GAOs evaluation of ICEs response are also provided.
