Case Summary

This is a case about pretextual vehicle stops used to apprehend undocumented noncitizens in the Chicago area. On May 29, 2018, five noncitizens and two nongovernmental organizations filed this putative class action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Secretary, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its Acting Director, and the Field Office Director of the ICE Chicago Field Office in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ill…

This is a case about pretextual vehicle stops used to apprehend undocumented noncitizens in the Chicago area. On May 29, 2018, five noncitizens and two nongovernmental organizations filed this putative class action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Secretary, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its Acting Director, and the Field Office Director of the ICE Chicago Field Office in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiffs sued under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the Fourth Amendment. Represented by the ACLU, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and private counsel, they sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys’ fees. The case was assigned to District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer.

On May 30, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. They sought to represent a class of all current and future individuals detained after being arrested by ICE without a warrant within the ICE Chicago Field Office’s area of responsibility. The proposed class-wide relief included three permanent injunctions: enjoining ICE from making warrantless arrests without an individualized probable cause determination that the person posed a flight risk; prohibiting ICE from conducting traffic stops absent reasonable suspicion that a specific individual targeted for immigration enforcement was present; and requiring ICE to adopt and document procedures for establishing reasonable suspicion in compliance with the Fourth Amendment.

Alongside the class certification motion, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a temporary restraining order. The TRO sought to immediately halt ICE’s practice of conducting warrantless arrests and pretextual traffic stops in the Chicago area while the case was pending. Plaintiffs argued that these enforcement tactics violated the Fourth Amendment and statutory protections under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and asked the court to enjoin ICE from continuing such stops and arrests without individualized probable cause or reasonable suspicion.

On June 27, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint, adding the then-Secretary of DHS, Acting Director of ICE, and Field Office Director of the ICE Chicago Field Office as named defendants.

On August 17, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint, raising three principal arguments: lack of jurisdiction (claims arise from removal enforcement), organizational lack of standing, and failure to state a claim under the APA (no final agency action and improper federal litigation of immigration enforcement). Before the court ruled, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint on December 7, 2018, which mooted the August 17 motion.

The Second Amended Complaint alleged that ICE had implemented a policy or widespread practice of conducting warrantless arrests and vehicle stops without individualized reasonable suspicion or probable cause, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and INA, and challenged deficient procedures and documentation affecting class members’ due process rights and access to counsel.

On March 14, 2019, the defendants filed a second motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, renewing their challenges to jurisdiction, standing, and APA compliance. The court denied this motion on January 24, 2020. 435 F. Supp. 3d 880. First, it held that the plaintiffs were not challenging their removability or any removal orders, but rather ICE’s enforcement practices—specifically, warrantless arrests and pretextual vehicle stops—so the jurisdictional bars to judicial review under the Immigration and Nationality Act did not apply. Second, the court found that the organizational plaintiffs had standing because they were forced to divert resources in response to the defendants’ alleged unlawful practices, constituting a cognizable injury traceable to the government and redressable by a favorable decision. Third, it concluded that the plaintiffs adequately alleged a discrete and unlawful agency policy—ICE’s use of warrantless arrests without individualized suspicion—which constituted a final agency action reviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act. The court rejected the argument that an arrest decision is not final merely because removal proceedings might follow, holding that the decision to make an arrest is itself final. Finally, it emphasized that the plaintiffs’ claims were procedural and constitutional in nature, and therefore distinct from direct challenges to removability or immigration status.

On July 16, 2020, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cummings for settlement negotiations. The court granted final approval of the settlement on February 8, 2022, and the settlement took effect on May 13, 2022, lasting three years. It required: a nationwide broadcast of the new policy, officer training, inclusion of the policy in training, monthly documentation of warrantless arrests, release of arrested class members contrary to the agreement, deferred action reviews for named plaintiffs, and attorneys' fees of $369,939.41.

After the inauguration of the second Trump administration in January 2025, the plaintiffs alleged that ICE resumed making warrantless arrests and pretextual traffic stops in violation of the settlement agreement. Plaintiffs specifically documented incidents involving class members who were stopped and detained without warrants or probable cause, and without proper documentation of reasonable suspicion, as required by the settlement. On March 13, 2025, plaintiffs filed a motion to enforce the settlement, seeking to compel compliance, produce overdue documentation, release affected class members, and request further monitoring or contempt remedies, and on April 14, 2025, plaintiffs filed a motion to modify the agreement.  The court held a hearing on June 27, 2025, and decision remained pending as of July 2025. 

This case is ongoing.
