Case Summary

This case concerns the due process rights of immigration detainees in the Adelanto ICE Processing Center during the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 13, 2020, immigration detainees filed this lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), and the warden of the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Represented by private counsel and the ACLU of Southern California, the petitioners …

This case concerns the due process rights of immigration detainees in the Adelanto ICE Processing Center during the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 13, 2020, immigration detainees filed this lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), and the warden of the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Represented by private counsel and the ACLU of Southern California, the petitioners sought writs of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, as well as injunctive and declaratory relief. Pointing to statements of medical experts, the plaintiffs alleged that detention facilities created a “tinderbox scenario” for COVID-19 to spread because those facilities made social distancing impossible. They claimed that their continued detention in Adelanto violated their Fifth Amendment right to substantive due process by creating a significant risk of illness or death from COVID-19.

On that same day, the plaintiffs moved to certify a class of “all individuals detained in civil immigration detention at Adelanto.” They also moved for temporary restraining orders (“TRO”) as to why a preliminary injunction should not be issued regarding each of the three named plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs also filed a notice of related cases, requesting this action to be related to the following cases: 5:20-cv-00605, 5:20-cv-00590, 5:20-cv-00617, 5:20-cv-00626, 5:20-cv-00627, 5:20-cv-00646, 5:20-cv-00650, 5:20-cv-00653, 5:20-cv-00668.

On April 14, 2020, the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction to implement a system for class-wide relief or mandate ICE to implement social distancing measures necessary to protect the individuals in custody.

The case was assigned to District Judge Terry J. Hatter, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Pedro V. Castillo.

On April 16, 2020, Judge Hatter entered TROs authorizing release from custody for each of the named plaintiffs. The court also ordered the government to show cause as to why the court should not issue a preliminary injunction by April 24, 2020. 

A few days later, on April 23, Judge Hatter provisionally certified a class of all those who were currently detained at Adelanto or had been detained there after March 23, 2020, and appointed the ACLU of Southern California as the class counsel. 2020 WL 3869729.

Judge Hatter also issued a preliminary injunction on April 23, 2020 that required the government to:

  • Not accept any new detainees at Adelanto
  • Reduce the detainee population to a level that allows detainees to maintain social distancing of 6 feet from each other at all times by May 4, 2020
  • Require staff and detainees to maintain 6 feet of distance whenever possible
  • Clean and disinfect common areas and shared items on a regular basis (multiple times throughout each 24-hour period)
  • Provide sufficient cleaning equipment and supplies for detainees to clean their own areas once a day
  • Limit sleeping rooms/cells that have toilets without integrated lids to single occupancy
  • Require all staff to wear masks and gloves at all times
  • Require all detainees to wear masks, and provide gloves to those who wish to wear them
  • Provide soap or hand sanitizer and paper towels to detainees
  • Propose a plan for population reduction and cleaning procedures that comply with the injunction

The court stated that if the government failed to comply with any of the injunction's requirements, the court would consider the immediate release of class members. Regarding the related cases, the order stated that any class member who had been released from this order or a previously filed case would remain released, but that no additional injunctions would be entered for class members that had filed separate cases.

The next day, the government appealed the April 23 order and preliminary injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Docket No. 20-55436). The Ninth Circuit granted an administrative stay of the district court’s preliminary injunction on April 25, 2020.

On May 5, 2020, the Ninth Circuit stayed the lower court's preliminary injunction to the extent that it went beyond the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (“CDC”) guidelines for correctional and detention facilities for managing COVID-19. Circuit Judges Barry G. Silverman, Jacqueline H. Nguyen, and Daniel Paul Collins issued the order. Judge Collins wrote a partial dissent advocating for staying the preliminary injunction in its entirety, on the basis that CDC guidelines may require adaptation to each individual facility. 2020 WL 2188048.

Back in the district court, the plaintiffs moved for class-wide bail on June 5, 2020. The court granted the motion on June 17, 2020 and announced plans to make individualized bail determinations for each class member. 2020 WL 3481564.

On June 19, 2020, the court implemented a process for individualized bail determinations for each class member. Judge Hatter also required the government to create a spreadsheet including information about each detainee, weekly updates, and notice to class members. 2020 WL 3487632. A few days later, on June 26, the court issued another order specifying what should be on the spreadsheet, but after the government asked the court to reconsider, the court held that the government no longer needed to provide information about the detainees’ criminal history on the spreadsheet.

The government appealed the June 19 order to the Ninth Circuit on June 29, 2020 (Docket No. 20-55662). The Ninth Circuit granted an administrative stay of the June 17 bail order and June 19 bail process on July 1, 2020. However, the Ninth Circuit declined to stay the orders pending appeal on July 8, 2020. It also consolidated the two appeals. Back in the district court, Judge Hatter, Jr. continued the individualized bail process and granted bail for various class members.

On August 10, 2020, the plaintiffs moved to enforce the preliminary injunction's CDC Guidance provision and for non-provisional class certification. That same day, the government moved to dismiss. Later in August, the government also filed motions in opposition to the plaintiffs’ August 10 motions.

After learning about a COVID-19 outbreak at the detention center, the plaintiffs filed an application for a TRO in the district court on September 16, 2020. They asked the court to compel COVID-19 testing of all detainees and to isolate all detainees with positive test results. The court also granted bail for several detainees on September 16, 2020. The court denied the plaintiffs’ application the next day. Judge Hatter also stayed any previous bail orders releasing detainees who were still in the detention center, so as not to release a COVID-positive detainee into the community. The plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration on September 18, 2020. 

On September 22, 2020, the court declined to reconsider the September 17 order. Judge Hatter held that because the Ninth Circuit had stayed the preliminary injunction, he could not order the government to isolate detainees in contravention of the stay. The court also granted class certification, holding that differences between class members such as statutory authority for detention or bail status did not destroy the class. 2020 WL 6261318. 

On September 23, 2020, the Ninth Circuit vacated many of the preliminary injunction’s provisions—including the CDC Guidelines provision—and remanded the matter with instructions to issue an updated preliminary injunction. Circuit Judges Paul J. Watford, Michelle T. Friedland, and Eric D. Miller issued the order. The Ninth Circuit held that the district court had subject matter jurisdiction and authority to issue the preliminary injunction. However, the Ninth Circuit vacated the substantive portions of the preliminary injunction because circumstances had changed at the Adelanto facility since its issuance, and thus an updated order was necessary. 829 F. App’x 165. 

On September 25, 2020, Judge Hatter denied both the plaintiffs' motion to enforce the preliminary injunction and the government’s motion to dismiss. The court reasoned that the Ninth Circuit’s September 23 opinion rendered the plaintiffs’ motion moot and foreclosed the government’s arguments. 

The court issued a modified preliminary injunction and additional findings of fact on September 29, 2020. Judge Hatter ordered the government to provide a detailed population reduction plan to ensure detainees could maintain six feet of social distance at all times, and to refrain from accepting any new or transfer detainees in Adelanto. The court also ordered the government to cease using HDQ Neutral, a toxic disinfectant, in housing units. Finally, Judge Hatter instructed the government to provide census data of all Adelanto detainees and update that report weekly. In addition to the census report, the district court ordered the government to provide a daily status report that listed the number of COVID-positive and COVID-negative detainees in each housing unit. 2020 WL 5797918.

The government appealed the modified preliminary injunction on October 2, 2020 (Docket No. 20-56026). On October 13, 2020, the Ninth Circuit issued a per curiam opinion partially affirming and partially reversing the district court’s order. The Ninth Circuit held that the district court had authority to issue injunctive relief but found that, due to the rapidly evolving circumstances, the district court needed to reconsider the reductions in detainee population. On remand, the Ninth Circuit advised the district court to avoid micromanaging the administration of conditions at Adelanto and stated that “any new provisions of future injunctive relief should stem from medical evidence properly before the court.” 977 F.3d 935. 

On October 15, 2020, Judge Hatter issued another order concerning the population reduction plan (“Adelanto Population Reduction Order”). The court expressed frustration with the government’s disregard for procedural rules. Judge Hatter ordered the government to reduce the population of Adelanto by at least 50 detainees each day (by either releasing or deporting detainees) until the population reached at most 475 people. The court appointed Chief Magistrate Judge Patrick Walsh to serve as a Special Master and monitor the government's compliance with the injunctive relief. 2020 WL 6107069. The government appealed on November 27, 2020 (Docket No. 20-56257). 

Throughout late 2020, Judge Hatter routinely issued bail orders directing the government to release specific class members. The government appealed several of these orders on December 15, 2020 (Docket No. 20-56329).

The parties held several status conferences with the Special Master in November and December of 2020. The Special Master issued a report and recommendation on November 18, 2020 concerning COVID-19 testing protocols. On December 21, 2020, the court partially accepted the Special Master’s recommendations. Judge Hatter set protocols for random COVID-19 testing of Adelanto staff and detainees, as well as isolation rules. In addition, the court ordered the government to inform the court when three or more people test positive in one week, and to conduct weekly testing of all Adelanto detainees and staff in response to these positive tests. 

On January 4, 2021, the parties agreed to request a modification of the court’s October 15, 2020 Adelanto Population Reduction Order. The court accepted the stipulation and issued an Amended Adelanto Population Reduction Order on January 11, 2021. The new order provided a revised list of considerations for determining which Adelanto detainees to release or deport, and required the government to proceed down the list until it reached the maximum capacity target of 475 or fewer detainees.

Upon motion of the plaintiffs, the court clarified on March 10, 2021 that two individual detainees were not subject to mandatory detention orders, and therefore should have been given priority for release. 2021 WL 4621946. The government appealed on May 10, 2021 (Docket No. 21-55510). The Ninth Circuit consolidated that appeal with the previous appeals in this case on June 3, 2021. 

Back in the district court, the government notified the court on March 19, 2021 that a detainee class member had died. Judge Hatter ordered the Special Master to investigate the death. The Special Master issued a report and recommendation following that investigation on July 16, 2021, which the court adopted on August 8, 2021. Judge Hatter ordered the government to report any time an Adelanto detainee who previously tested positive for COVID-19 goes to the hospital or dies of any cause, and imposed procedures for sharing medical records of those detainees. 2021 WL 10395928. The government appealed this order on October 8, 2021 (Docket No. 21-56128).

The deceased detainee’s son moved for limited intervention, which the court denied on October 15, 2021. 2021 WL 6103180. The court denied the proposed intervenor’s motion for reconsideration on February 25, 2022. The proposed intervenor appealed on April 25, 2022 (Docket No. 22-55430), and voluntarily dismissed the appeal on July 29, 2022.

On September 30, 2021, the court stayed discovery deadlines pending the parties’ settlement negotiations, which were apparently unsuccessful.

In the district court, the government filed frequent, regular status reports and spreadsheets with information about Adelanto detainees from the issuance of the injunction in 2020 through the beginning of 2025. As of January 28, 2025, the government has continued to file these reports.

In the Ninth Circuit, the parties underwent mediation regarding the various issues on appeal from 2021 to 2023. On September 25, 2023, the Ninth Circuit temporarily closed the appellate docket for administrative purposes.

On May 2, 2024, the district court granted a joint stipulation to modify the conditions of release for one of the class members. On December 9, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation to vacate the court's August 8, 2021, order, which had adopted the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of the Special Master following the investigation of the death of a detainee class member, and to enter an order adopting a modified R&R. On December 16, 2024, Judge Hatter vacated the initial order, and the modified R&R was adopted with changes to the language, making it more “neutral” (e.g., “misled” was replaced with “did not disclose to.”).

On January 24, 2025, Judge Hatter Jr. granted the plaintiffs' unopposed motion for preliminary approval of settlement agreement. This agreement included provisions relating to Covid-19 vaccination offerings, screening and testing procedures, social distancing, masking, and cleaning and hygiene. Specifically, these provisions required Defendants to use their best efforts to comply with CDC guidance and ICE requirements regarding these issues. The agreement also contained provisions relating to the re-detention of class members released pursuant to the Population Reduction Order or a TRO. Specifically, it required Defendants to make best efforts not to re-detain class members who were released unless special circumstances exist (for example, violating a material condition of release in a manner indicating that the class member presents a danger to people or poses a risk of flight). Additionally, the parties agreed to request that the court temporarily lift the intake ban and population cap orders. Defendants also agreed to pay $2,200,000 to satisfy Plaintiffs' claims for attorneys’ fees, costs, and litigation expenses.

The obligations imposed by the agreement were set to terminate one year after the effective date, and the agreement specified that the District Court would retain jurisdiction to enforce its terms. Based on a preliminary evaluation, the court found the settlement to be fair, reasonable, and adequate. On January 24, 2025, the court also granted the defendants' ex parte motion to lift the prohibition on new detainee intakes. The court indicated that the intake ban will be permanently lifted if the court approves the final settlement.

The parties moved for final approval of the settlement on March 3, 2025. As of March 27, 2025, the court has not yet approved the final settlement.

SCHEDULING ORDER by Judge Terry J. Hatter, Jr. The Court has considered the evidence and arguments presented in favor of and against Petitioners petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court will combine the evidentiary hearing on Petitioners petition for a writ of habeas corpus with a court trial on Petitioners claims for injunctive and declaratory relief. Each side will be allowed 8 hours to present their case. The time limit includes all aspects of the case, including opening statements, direct and cross examinations, arguments on objections, and closing arguments. In lieu of closing arguments, the parties may file closing briefs, of no more than 25 pages, no later than ten days afterthe conclusion of the evidentiary hearing and trial. The following dates are subject to change by the Court in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; at this time, it is unclear as to when the First Street Courthouse will re-open for evidentiary hearings and court trials for civil cases. Discovery cut-off 7/31/2020., Substantive Motion Filing Deadline by 8/10/2020., Motions in Limine Filing Deadline filed by 8/27/2020., Evidentiary Hearing and Court Trial set for 10/6/2020 at 10:00 a.m., Final Pretrial Conference set for 9/14/2020 at 10:00 a.m. While the Ninth Circuit has not yet reached the issue, it is clear to the Court that it has the inherent authority, at least in extraordinary cases, to release detainees on bail during the pendency of their habeas petitions.
