Case Summary

COVID-19 Summary: This is a habeas petition and a complaint for injunctive relief brought on behalf of three immigration detainees confined in detention centers in Texas. The petitioners alleged that as people who were particularly vulnerable to the virus due to their age and serious medical conditions, they were exposed to a heightened risk of COVID-19.

COVID-19 Summary: This is a habeas petition and a complaint for injunctive relief brought on behalf of three immigration detainees confined in detention centers in Texas. The petitioners alleged that as people who were particularly vulnerable to the virus due to their age and serious medical conditions, they were exposed to a heightened risk of COVID-19. Plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal on December 24, 2020. We presume the case to be closed.


On April 15, 2020, three immigration detainees filed this lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and various detention center officers. Represented by private counsel, the Texas Civil Rights Project, Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the petitioners sought writs of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, they alleged that the defendants were subjecting them to punishment in a way that violated their Fifth Amendment due process rights and violating the Rehabilitation Act by not taking into account their vulnerability to severe illness or death, denying them soap, hand sanitizer, and other hygiene products, failing to clean common items and surfaces, detaining them in crowded conditions that precluded social distancing, and failing to screen incoming detainees and officers for COVID-19 before entering the detention centers. The case was assigned to Judge Marina Garcia Marmolejo and Magistrate Judge John A. Kazen.

The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on April 24, arguing that the plaintiffs could not bring conditions of confinement claims in a habeas action, and that the alleged violations they had plead were not unconstitutional. Later, the Court granted the defendants motion to sever one of the plaintiffs from the case, as he was detained at a separate facility and therefore lacked any connection to the facility in question.

On July 31, 2020, the plaintiffs moved for a temporary restraining order, and on August 13, 2020, the defendants filed a response.

On December 24, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal. However on February 3, 2021, the defendants filed a notice of binding authority. The Clearinghouse does not have access to these documents at this time, and presumes the case to be closed.
