COVID-19 Summary: This is a class-action habeas petition brought on May 4, 2020, by two individuals in ICE custody, seeking better access to phone calls. The defendants moved to dismiss the case on June 29. The magistrate judge recommended the court dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction and deny all other motions as moot; the plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal on May 18, 2021.


On May 4, 2020, two individuals in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) brought this lawsuit against ICE and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security. They complained about ICE's restrictions on telephone access--the high cost of phone calls and the denial of incoming calls. Both restrictions predated the COVID-19 pandemic. But they alleged that because in-person visitation had become impossible, the phone restrictions unconstitutionally violated their Fifth and First Amendment rights, preventing communication with counsel and denying their right to legal representation. One plaintiff alleged that since pandemic restrictions began, communications with his attorney have been very challenging. Another pointed to a delay of a month in his asylum hearing (prolonging his detention) because he had been unable to have a meaningful preparatory call with his counsel. The plaintiffs’ proposed class includes "all current and future adult immigration detained persons who are or will be held in ICE custody in El Paso or Otero." Represented by private counsel and the American Immigration Council, the plaintiffs framed the lawsuit as a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, and as an injunctive and declaratory action under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico and assigned to Magistrate Judge Gregory B. Wormuth. The case was later reassigned to Judge James A. Parker on June 5.

On June 29, the defendants moved to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction and the plaintiff's failure to state a claim. They argued that the plaintiffs could not bring claims relating to injuries they have not personally suffered and that the plaintiffs could not bring this case in district court as the Immigration and Nationality Act contains a jurisdiction-channeling provision that requires exclusive review in the federal courts of appeals. The plaintiffs responded that the jurisdictional bar does not apply where claims address systemwide detention conditions that are collateral to the removal process and are effectively unreviewable through a petition for review. They further argued that they have standing to bring the action on behalf of the proposed class and that they stated a proper Due Process claim.

The plaintiffs then moved for a preliminary injunction on August 26, claiming that despite the increased reliance of telephone calls due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ICE's acknowledgment of a need to expand telephone access, restrictive practices at Otero have rendered all communications nearly impossible.

In its opposition to the preliminary injunction on September 9, the defendants argued that because the court has not certified a class, any injunctive relief must be limited to the named plaintiffs. They also argued that the named plaintiffs have not established a likelihood of success on the merits, nor imminent and irreparable harm. The plaintiffs filed a reply on September 23 and on October 6 filed an unopposed motion for a hearing on their motion to certify the class, their motion for a preliminary injunction, and the defendants' motion to dismiss.

Judge Gonzales referred the plaintiffs' motions to certify the class, for a preliminary injunction, and for a hearing, and the defendants' motion to dismiss to Magistrate Judge Kevin R. Sweazea. On December 10, Magistrate Judge Swazea ordered a mandatory settlement conference to occur on January 15, 2021. The conference was eventually held on January 19, but the case did not settle. On January 19, Magistrate Judge Swazea ordered a motion hearing to occur on March 10 regarding the defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.

On May 7, 2021 Magistrate Judge Swazea filed his Report and Recommendations, recommending the court grant the motion to dismiss, and deny the motion to certify the class and the motion for preliminary injunction as moot. 2021 WL 1840418. On May 18, the plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice
