Ali Alhadje v. Guadian

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Colorado denies Ali Alhadje’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his immigration detention. The court concludes that Alhadje’s acknowledged refusal to board a flight arranged for his removal constituted conduct causing or contributing to his continued detention and did not establish a risk of indefinite detention warranting release. The court directs the Clerk to close the case.
