1Opinion of the Court
TASHIMA, Circuit Judge.
The question we must answer is whether the United States can remove aliens to Somalia, a country that does not have a functioning government to accept them. In a well-reasoned opinion, the district court found that it cannot. See Ali v. Ashcroft, 213 F.R.D. 390 (W.D.Wash.2003). We agree with the district court and therefore affirm. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253.
