Case Summary

COVID-19 Summary: This is a federal lawsuit in D.C. District Court in which noncitizen families detained by ICE in "Family Residential Centers" (FRCs) are seeking release to avoid COVID-19 infection. On March 30, District Judge James Boasberg ordered ICE to provide appropriate infection protocols for the adults (a similar order from another case, Flores, applies to the children), to comply with CDC guidelines for congregate institutions, and to file a report regarding FRC capacity, implementation of the CDC guidelines, the number of detainees released, and videotape of the living conditions at the FRCs. The court denied the plaintiffs' later motion for a preliminary injunction demanding wholesale release of detainees on July 22. On December 10, the court dismissed the claim under the APA and the writs of mandamus. A hearing is scheduled for February 16, 2021.

Full Summary:

On March 21, 2020, 37 families detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in three family residential centers (“FRC”) sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs were detained in three FRC's in Pennsylvania and Texas and represented by three public interest groups: ALDEA — the People’s Justice Center, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, and the Rapid Defense Network. The plaintiffs alleged that the conditions of their detention amidst the COVID-19 pandemic violated their Fifth Amendment constitutional rights, the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 551 et seq.), Declaratory Judgment Act (28 U.S.C. §§ 2201-02) and, with regards to detained minors, the Flores Agreement. The plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and writs of mandamus. With regards to the injunctive relief, the plaintiffs requested the court order the immediate release of all detainees in the FRC’s, the implementation of protocols designed to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, and the suspension of new detainments until the COVID-19 protocols have been implemented. The case was assigned to Judge James Boasberg.

The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated their Fifth Amendment rights by subjecting civil detainees to a substantial risk of serious harm from the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 coronavirus spreads through respiratory droplets and can be transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The Center for Disease Control stated that it may be possible for someone to contract the virus if they touched a surface with the virus on it, then touched their own face. The plaintiffs alleged that the most effective means of prevention are improved hygiene and social distancing of at least six feet. FRC’s are congregate environments, where detainees eat, sleep, and play together in confined spaces that do not allow for the recommended “social distancing.” The FRC’s are cleaned by detainees provided with allegedly inadequate supplies, which the plaintiffs believe put detainees at increased risk of infection because FRC surfaces are used to prepare meals, take showers, and perform all other functions of daily life. The plaintiffs alleged that the congregate environment and inadequate hygiene procedures, combined with the daily turnover of FRC staff, make an outbreak imminent.

The plaintiffs also alleged that the defendants violated the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to implement policies and procedures to protect the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights. They argued that the lack of policies constituted a final agency action, making it reviewable by a court.

Finally, the plaintiffs stated that the Flores Settlement Agreement required the defendants to safeguard and protect immigrant children in their custody by making facilities safe and sanitary, and releasing minors without unnecessary delay in order to ensure their safety. The plaintiffs alleged that the conditions of detention violated the rights of minors under the Flores Settlement Agreement. For more information on the Flores Settlement, see Flores v. Reno in the Clearinghouse.

Immediately, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and requested an emergency hearing. On March 30, Judge Boasberg granted in part and denied in part without prejudice the plaintiff's motion. Judge Boasberg ordered that the Government provide for the adults at the three Family Residential Centers the same protocols and procedures as ordered for the children there in Flores. The Government also must provide to FRC detainees CDC-compliant protocols and protections for congregate settings in civil-detention facilities. Additionally, Judge Boasberg ordered the Government to provide the Court with a report regarding the capacity of the three FRCs, the implementation of the CDC guidelines, and the number of detainees released, as well as a videotape of the living conditions at the FRCs.

Public health experts and the American Academy of Pediatrics submitted a brief in support of the petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order. The brief detailed that the highly contagious nature of the disease made an outbreak "highly probable" even if the three FRCs adopted CDC-recommended preventative measures. The authors recommended releasing families with children to enable social distancing and mitigate the risk.

On April 13, the Court held a telephonic hearing with the parties. Judge Boasberg declined to grant immediate release of the immigrant families, finding that the government is "continuing to make substantial progress" to ensure that detainees are not infected. Judge Boasberg pointed to the installation of hand washing stations installed at some FRCs, and his belief that the FRCs are in compliance and CDC guidance for congregate settings. For the next hearing, Judge Boasberg ordered the defendant to file a notice detailing the statistics on detainees and releases in the three FRCs, ICE's compliance with CDC guidelines, and its response plan, including testing capabilities and PPE supplies.

Judge Boasberg again declined to grant immediate release of detainees in a telephonic hearing held on April 27. He extended some conditions from the Flores Agreement to adults, but stopped short of requiring the government to explain why an adult has been in detention for more than 20 days. Judge Boasberg stated his continued belief that conditions are improving at the FRCs, and noted that the three centers are at least 16% under capacity.

On May 20, Judge Boasberg held a telephonic conference in which the plaintiffs argued that any improvements by a reduced population were undermined by the government's closure of parts of the facilities, thereby pushing the remaining detainees closer together. The plaintiffs argued that extended detention in these conditions amounted to a Fifth Amendment due process violation. Judge Boasberg, though, rebuffed the proposition, stating that he did not have the authority to order the immediate release of all detainees based on the conditions alleged.

On May 26, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss all counts of the complaint and a motion in opposition to the temporary restraining order.

On June 25, the court ordered the defendants to notify the court and the plaintiffs of any positive tests of staff or detainees. Numerous new positive cases were noted between June and November.

On July 2, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, arguing that the measures put in place by defendants as a result of the March 30 temporary restraining order were insufficient.

The motion was denied on July 22 because the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that "nothing short of wholesale release - the only remedy Petitioners seek at this time - [could] redress their injuries." On July 17, defendants had filed a notice of an order in Flores v. Barr, 2020 WL 3488040, which was a decision issued pursuant to the Flores Settlement which had ordered the release of detainees, but only minors detained at an FRC, not adults, which meant that the plaintiffs' demands only applied to adult detainees.

The parties had numerous status conferences throughout the summer and fall. On September 16, 2020, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion to add more plaintiffs. On December 10, the court granted in part and denied in part the Defendants' motion to dismiss, dismissing all but the due process and FSA claims. 2020 WL 7264049. The judge dismissed the claim under the Administrative Procedure Act, claiming that the plaintiffs did not identify any final agency action and that the court did not have jurisdiction since the actions were under the Attorney General's authority. He further denied writs of mandamus on the grounds that the plaintiffs had received adequate remedy and the claim under the Declaratory Judgment Act, as the Act only provided relief rather than a cause of action.

As the litigation proceeded, the parties continued to file status reports and notices regarding positive cases in the detention center. Certain plaintiffs filed notices of voluntary dismissal and on January 24, the plaintiffs filed a motion to join additional defendants, which the defendants opposed on February 12, 2021. The Clearinghouse does not have access to these documents at this time.
