022324P.pdf   05/27/2003  Keyse G. Jama  v.  INS
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2324
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil Case - habeas corpus immigration. District court's grant 
   of habeas relief to alien is reversed. Court has jurisdiction to 
   hear challenge to Attorney General's statutory construction of 
   8 U.S.C. sec. 1231(b)(2)(E)(iv), allowing INS to remove alien to 
   country of birth, because it is a pure question of law. Plain meaning 
   of statute does not require agency to obtain a destination country's 
   acceptance when alien is returned to his country of birth. 
   Acceptance requirement does not apply to clause (i) through 
   (vi) of section 1231(b)(2)(E). Dissent by Judge Bye.
