Case Summary

This is a case about the government’s policies and practices concerning undocumented immigrants at the United States-Mexico border. On September 28, 2021, the State of Florida filed this lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Florida sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Citing statistics that the Biden Administration was releasing into the country’s interior a radically greater number of immigrants than the Trump Administration did, Florida sought to enjoin the Biden Administration’s alleged policy: "[of] releasing arriving [undocumented immigrants] subject to mandatory detention, of paroling [undocumented immigrants] without engaging in case-by-case adjudication or abiding by the other limits on that authority, and of failing to serve charging documents or initiate removal proceedings against [paroled undocumented immigrants].” Florida also sought a declaratory judgment that the Biden Administration was violating the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and requested costs and attorney’s fees. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II presided over the case.

On December 3, 2021, the government moved to transfer the case from the Pensacola Division to the Tallahassee Division because venue was improper in the Pensacola Division. In the alternative, the government claimed that the case should be transferred because the Tallahassee Division would be more convenient. The same day, the government moved to dismiss Florida’s complaint for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.

On January 18, 2022, after briefing by both sides, the court denied the government’s motion to transfer venue. The court explained that a state “resides at every point within its boundaries.” Thus, the court held, Florida resided in the Pensacola Division and venue there was proper. The court then considered the factors relevant to a transfer for convenience. Concluding that most of these factors were neutral but that one—the respect accorded to a plaintiff’s choice of forum—weighed against the transfer, the court denied the motion.

According to Florida, in November 2021, the government issued an internal memo stating that it would cease issuing “notices to report.” These notices effectively instructed people to voluntarily contact immigration services at some later date after arrest. In its original complaint, Florida had challenged the practice of issuing these notices, rather than official charging documents, before releasing detained persons. Thus, Florida filed an amended complaint on February 1, shortly after it claimed to have learned of this memo. The next day, the court denied the government’s motion to dismiss as moot.

The plaintiffs amended complaint addressed the court's rulings on the motion to transfer. The amended complaint also directly addressed President Biden's parole and alternatives to detention (ATD) policies. These policies included a non-detention policy, which released immigrants from detention. The parole policy enabled Department of Homeland Security agents to allow immigrants to enter the U.S. without being admitted, but to parole them on a case-by-case basis due to "humanitarian reasons" or "significant public benefit." The ATD policy included methods like ankle monitoring, GPS tracking, and a phone app.

On February 24, the government moved to stay proceedings pending the Supreme Court’s decision in Texas v. Biden. The government argued that the two cases dealt with overlapping issues and thus the interests of judicial economy and avoiding inconsistent judgments counseled in favor of a stay. On March 9, Florida filed a response arguing that the cases were not related enough to justify a stay, that the government had already created delays for Florida by mooting its first complaint, that Florida continued to suffer ongoing harm from the government’s allegedly unlawful policies, and that the government, given the lack of impending discovery obligations or filing deadlines, would not be harmed in the absence of a stay. Two days later, the court denied the motion to stay. The district judge explained that the case had “languished” for long enough and that the benefits of the Supreme Court potentially ruling or commenting on overlapping issues were outweighed by the ongoing harm to Florida from the government’s challenged policies.

On March 7, 2022, the government filed a motion to dismiss Florida’s amended complaint for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim. The government argued that Florida lacked standing because (among other reasons) the state’s alleged injury—the cost of providing government services to undocumented immigrants who migrated to Florida—was generalized rather than particularized and was not fairly traceable to the government’s challenged policies, as it depended on “a string of third-party actions.” The government also alleged that Florida’s claims were not justiciable because (1) the challenged practices did not constitute final agency action and were committed to agency discretion, (2) the INA barred the court’s jurisdiction over the claims Florida raised in this case, and (3) that Florida, as a plaintiff, did not fall within the “zone of interests” of the INA.

Next, the government argued that Florida failed to state a claim for which relief could be granted. In response to Florida’s claims that DHS policies and practices were not in “accordance with the law” or “in excess of statutory authority,” the government argued that DHS had substantial law enforcement discretion that was not displaced by the INA, that the text of the INA did not support Florida’s contention that the relevant statutory provisions required detention and the initiation of removal proceedings in all cases, and that Florida’s evidence did not support the conclusion that DHS was abusing its parole authority. In response to Florida’s claims that DHS’ parole-related policies were arbitrary and capricious, the government argued that its challenged practices did not represent a cohesive program or policy and were instead individual parole decisions that the court lacked jurisdiction to review. In response to Florida’s claim that DHS failed to engage in notice-and-comment rulemaking for their challenged policies, the government argued that this procedure was only required for rulemaking, that its individual immigration-related determinations were adjudications, not rules, and that, if the alleged policies existed, they would constitute “general statements of policy” rather than rules.

The court denied the defendant's motion to dismiss on May 4, 2022. After further proceedings, including a motion to quash filed by the defendants on August 19, 2022, and an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to quash on September 2, 2022, both Florida and the defendants filed motions for summary judgment on October 3, 2022. Judge Wetherell denied these motions on November 18, 2022. In his order, Judge Wetherell wrote that he denied the motions to dismiss due to: (a) the existence of genuine disputes of material facts (the plaintiff's standing and the existence, operation, and validity of the "non-detention policy"), (b) unpersuasive arguments about justiciability and redressability from the defendant, and (c) the court's desire to defer judicial review of the policy at issue in this case to trial or after trial.

The first day of the bench trial occurred on January 9, 2023. This trial was four days long, ending on January 12, 2023. As of February 13, 2023, the defendant asked for an extension of time to file post-trial briefs. This motion for extension was granted.

On March 8, 2023, Judge Wetherell entered a judgment in favor of Florida on some counts and in favor of the government on others. Judge Wetherell held that the parole and ATD policies were unlawful and not a valid exercise of the government's power, so he vacated the policies and remanded them to DHS. He also held that while the non-detention policy did exist, it was not subject to judicial review. The judgment was stayed for seven days to allow time for the government to appeal. __ F. Supp. 3d __; 2023 WL 2399883.

The government appealed the case to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 5, 2023, and subsequently filed an emergency motion to stay the judgment a week later in the district court. The district court denied the motion the next day, noting that the government’s delay in filing the appeal and motion for stay indicated it was not experiencing irreparable harm from the judgment. The court also pointed to the government’s claim that it had already ended the ATD and parole policies before the court vacated them, and rejected the argument that the government might need to restart the policies. The court also concluded that the government would likely lose on appeal.

Florida then filed a cross-appeal to the 11th Circuit on May 16, 2023. Three days later, the government moved to expedite the appeal and consolidate this appeal with another case, Florida v. Mayorkas. In that case, the same district judge had enjoined the DHS’s “parole with conditions” policy, which was very similar to the ATD policy. The government asked the 11th Circuit to stay that injunction and the order in this case.

On May 20, 2023, the 11th Circuit granted the motions to consolidate and to expedite the appeal. The 11th Circuit denied the motion for a stay of both orders on June 5, 2023, holding that the government had not shown it would experience irreparable harm without a stay. The 11th Circuit concluded that the policies at issue were not as essential as the government claimed, and that the government’s various procedural delays confirmed this. 2023 WL 3813774.

On June 9, 2023, Florida filed an unopposed motion to voluntarily dismiss its cross-appeal, which the 11th Circuit granted on July 11, 2023.

On January 26, 2023, the 11th Circuit heard oral argument in the case.

While the government’s appeal was pending, the U.S. Supreme Court decided United States v. Texas on June 23, 2022. There, the Supreme Court affirmed the principle that states generally lack standing to challenge federal immigration enforcement policies, except in cases where the policy involves both enforcement discretion and the provision of legal benefits or status. On February 13th, 2024, the 11th Circuit ordered the district court to determine whether it had jurisdiction in light of the decision. On February 16, 2024, the district court issued a remand order stating that nothing in United States v. Texas undermines its determination that Florida has Article III standing to challenge the parole policies at issue in this case. On April 8th, 2024, the 11th Circuit ordered that both parties brief the question of whether Florida has standing to challenge the parole policies at issue in these cases. Both parties filed their briefs on May 6th, 2024.

As of October 16th, 2024, the case is still ongoing.
