Case Summary

This case, filed on June 22, 2017, was brought by a parent on behalf of her minor child for wrongful incarceration by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The complaint alleged that the child, A.H., was released into the plaintiff's custody but that a few years later, ICE arrested and detained him without cause. Represented by the ACLU of Northern California, the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, and the private law firm Cooley LLP, the plaintiff argued that the government violated the First and Fifth Amendments, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), and the Flores Agreement. The case was filed as a petition for writ of habeas corpus as well as a complaint for injunctive and declaratory relief in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

The complaint alleged that A.H. entered the United States as an unaccompanied minor in 2015 after leaving Honduras to escape his abusive father. Shortly thereafter, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) released A.H. into the plaintiff's custody, and the two resided in New York State. The complaint stated that A.H. was eligible to receive Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status, making it possible for him to receive U.S. citizenship. However, on June 12, 2017, the plaintiff alleged that ICE agents "arrested A.H. outside his home, refused his repeated requests to contact his attorney, and interrogated him without counsel present." The next day, without notice to the plaintiff or A.H.'s attorney, two federal agents took A.H. to a secure juvenile facility in northern California. The complaint argued that the detention would prevent A.H. from attending scheduled hearings in New York regarding his immigration status, which in turn would prevent him from getting SIJ status and eventually citizenship.

The case was assigned to Judge Vince Chhabria on June 23, 2017. The plaintiff moved for a temporary restraining order on June 23, which Judge Chhabria granted and denied in part on June 29. The ruling was made from the bench, without written opinion. The plaintiff then filed an amended complaint on August 11, 2017. The new class action complaint added two additional named plaintiffs with children in similar situations as A.H., and alleged that all had been detained on the basis of unsubstantiated gang affiliation charges. The minors, the complaint argued, were profiled as gang members on the basis of the neighborhoods they lived in. The complaint also sought to certify a class consisting of "all unaccompanied immigrant children . . . who had previously been detained in ORR custody and released by ORR to a parent or other sponsor, and who thereafter have been or will be arrested by U.S. immigration authorities on or after April 1, 2017, with allegations of gang affiliation and detained in a secure or staff secure detention center under the oversight authority of the San Francisco-based ORR Federal Field Specialist."

The defendants moved to dismiss the case on September 14, 2017, while the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction on September 25, 2017. On November 20, Judge Chhabria granted a preliminary injunction and provisionally certified the class. 280 F.Supp.3d 1168 (N.D. Cal. 2017). Judge Chhabria stated that "there is no reason to deny these minors protections that noncitizens typically get after having been released on bond or parole. . . . . By shipping the minors across the country for indefinite detention in a high-security facility before providing that hearing, the government has violated their due process rights."

To ensure the government would comply with the plaintiffs' due process rights, Judge Chhabria ordered the government to (1) provide the minors with an immigration hearing by November 29, 2017 so that they could contest the government's evidence of changed circumstances, (2) restore the sponsors' custody of the minors in the absence of such evidence, and (3) provide such a hearing within a week of similar arrests going forward while the lawsuit proceeded.

For the purposes of the preliminary injunction only, Judge Chhabria certified the following class: "(1) the noncitizen came to the country as an unaccompanied minor; (2) the noncitizen was previously detained in ORR custody and then released by ORR to a sponsor; (3) the noncitizen has been or will be rearrested by DHS on the basis of a removability warrant on or after April 1, 2017 on allegations of gang affiliation."

Finally, Judge Chhabria dismissed two of the non-federal defendants, dismissed claims brought by two of the individual plaintiffs, and denied the federal defendants' motion to dismiss regarding the due process claim.

On November 27, 2017, Judge Chhabria granted in part the plaintiffs' emergency application for relief, requiring the defendants to notify the plaintiffs of their upcoming hearings, to grant brief extensions to prepare or secure counsel, to inform counsel of plaintiffs' locations, to release any detained plaintiffs who already had hearings and were found not to be dangers or flight risks, and to hold hearings in the jurisdiction of the plaintiff's home or arrest.

Then on December 12, 2017, Judge Chhabria granted A.H.'s emergency application for release. Judge Chhabria reiterated that, despite ORR's finding that A.H. was not a danger and could be placed with his mother, the defendants had rearrested him and detained him anyway with no prompt hearing, violating his procedural due process rights. A.H. had a December 6 hearing at which the Immigration Judge ruled he was not a danger or flight risk. Thus, Judge Chhabria ordered his release.

The government appealed the preliminary injunction order on January 19, 2018 to the Ninth Circuit. On February 14, the District Court stayed the case pending appeal. The defendants argued that the District Court erred in ruling that the government denied A.H. due process in his arrest and detention because the District Court lacked the authority to create new procedures, and that the injunction overburdened the government.

In the District Court on March 1, the plaintiffs moved to lift the stay, and the defendants opposed this. On March 15, Judge Chhabria noted that the defendants had failed to address the plaintiffs' allegation that class members were being denied immigration benefits based on the same allegations of gang activity rejected by Immigration Judges -- which would be a reason to lift the stay. Judge Chhabria ordered further briefing from the parties, which they submitted in March. On April 9, he denied the plaintiffs' motion to lift the stay, without prejudice if the plaintiffs could prove the defendants were obstructing them from seeking and obtaining immigration benefits on the basis of the affiliations of gang membership.

On October 1, 2018, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the preliminary injunction, holding that the injunction did not conflict with the TVPRA, that existing procedures do not adequately protect minors from being erroneously taken away from their parents, and that the Flores bond hearings were not sufficient to protect class members' TVPRA rights. Specifically, the panel found that there was no conflict between the injunction and the TVPRA because the injunction does not prevent the government from releasing minors to ORR custody as required by the TVPRA, and because the injunction orders minors to be released back to their previous sponsors, which is not at odds with the TVPRA's requirement that ORR place unaccompanied children in the least restrictive setting. Further, the panel held that the existing procedures were inadequate because the ORR review process did not provide juveniles with notice of their reason for incarceration or a chance to respond to charges, and Flores hearings were not designed to account for child placement after initial determinations of detention or release were made. 905 F.3d 1137 (9th Cir. 2018).

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on November 15, 2018. The amended complaint removed two pairs of parents and their unaccompanied minor children and removed two defendants who were believed to be providing care and custody to unaccompanied minor children. The plaintiffs also withdrew claims that the defendants had violated the Flores v. Reno consent decree and that the defendants interfered with the constitutional rights to counsel, to access the courts, and to petition the government, while adding a claim that the defendants denied them immigration benefits.

On December 3, 2018, the court clarified the class definition in the preliminary injunction, concluding it was "not limited to minors who are taken into DHS custody solely on allegations of gang affiliation (and who otherwise meet the class definition), but rather includes those minors taken into custody based partly on allegations of gang affiliation." The court also expressly limited the class to preclude "any minors who otherwise meet the class definition and for whom DHS happens to have information about gang affiliation when he is taken into custody."

The defendants filed an administrative motion on December 20 to clarify the December 3 order; specifically, it wanted clarification on how to apply the preliminary injunction to two specific individuals in custody and further investigation into the class in general. Judge Chhabria issued an order on that motion on January 25, 2019. He said that the minors at issue did not need to be released because the preliminary injunction does not override the government's obligation to ensure that released minors have a safe place to go, and this could not be confirmed in these cases. He declined to revisit the class, saying that the defendants had provided no new or compelling reason to discuss the class.

The parties expressed an interest in mediation in March 2019; on March 8, Judge Chhabria stayed proceedings on the outstanding motions to dismiss in anticipation of settlement negotiations. Judge Chhabria referred the case to Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler for settlement negotiations on March 29, 2019, and settlement conferences began in earnest shortly thereafter. The parties reached an agreement on all material terms of the settlement on December 9, 2019. On September 17, 2020, the parties moved for the court to approve the settlement agreement.

The proposed settlement agreement defined a class of noncitizen minors who came to the United States as unaccompanied nonminors who were detained by ORR, released to a sponsor, then rearrested by DHS on the basis of a removability warrant based in whole or in part on allegations of gang affiliation. The proposed settlement would require the defendants to make advanced determinations that rearrest of class members would be justified by changed circumstances, and to provide hearings within ten days of rearrest. The proposed settlement also defined a second class: members in the first class who were denied immigration benefits. Members of the second class would be entitled to the government's evidence that formed the basis of the denial and to a rehearing to determine eligibility for the denied benefit.

Judge Chhabria approved the settlement preliminarily on October 16, 2020, and finally on January 19, 2021. The court retains jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement for five years after the final approval. Under the settlement agreement, the government is obligated to cure any noncompliance with the agreement within thirty days of receiving written notice by the plaintiffs. If the government fails to satisfy its obligations within the thirty day period, Magistrate Judge Laura Beeler is empowered to issue binding orders to effectuate further compliance On June 7, 2021, Judge Chhabria approved a settlement of attorney's fees and litigation costs in which the defendants paid the plaintiffs $1,950,000.

The enforcement period will end on January 19, 2026.
