Case Summary

On March 21, 2018, the plaintiff — a private resident of Washington — filed a complaint against four City of Tukwila law enforcement officers as well as the City of Tukwila in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Represented by the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, the plaintiff alleged the defendants violated his Fourth Amendment rights by way of seizure without probable cause. According to the complaint, the plaintiff was unlawfully arrested after calling the poli…

On March 21, 2018, the plaintiff — a private resident of Washington — filed a complaint against four City of Tukwila law enforcement officers as well as the City of Tukwila in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Represented by the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, the plaintiff alleged the defendants violated his Fourth Amendment rights by way of seizure without probable cause. According to the complaint, the plaintiff was unlawfully arrested after calling the police for protection from a trespasser. The complaint alleged the plaintiff was arrested without probable cause or a judicial warrant, but instead solely to facilitate civil immigration enforcement, despite lacking the legal authority to do so. The plaintiff requested compensatory and punitive damages, declaratory relief, as well as injunctive relief to prohibit the defendants from arresting individuals to investigate whether they are unlawfully present in the country. The case was assigned to Judge Richard A. Jones. 

As discovery began in this case, a jury trial was set for April 8, 2019. During discovery, the plaintiff sought a protective order prohibiting the defendants from inquiring into his immigration status, addresses, and employment history. On January 29, 2019, the District Court granted the plaintiff’s motion, finding that demanding this information from the plaintiff through discovery would produce a chilling effect that would impact the plaintiff's ability to effectuate his rights. 2019 WL 355244. 

Meanwhile on October 11, 2018, the defendant-officers filed a motion for partial summary judgment on grounds of qualified immunity, contending that local officers would be placed in the untenable position of making judgment calls about which laws to uphold or ignore. On January 8, 2019, the defendant-city filed motions for summary judgment and dismissal of all claims. The plaintiff then followed by filing a motion for partial summary judgment on January 8, 2019. 

On May 8, 2019, the district court (1) granted the defendant-officers’ motion for partial summary judgment, (2) denied in part and granted in part the defendant-city’s motion for summary judgment, and (3) denied in part and granted in part the plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment. The court held that the defendant-officers violated the Fourth Amendment by seizing the plaintiff only upon their knowledge of suspected unlawful presence. Due to this finding, the defendant-officers’ qualified immunity defense was denied. However, the court also found a lack of evidence that the defendant-officers acted pursuant to an official policy, practice, or custom so as to extend liability to the city. The court also determined that although the plaintiff’s contentions supported an inference that the city’s training on civil immigration violations was severely negligent, it had not met the high standard of proving deliberate indifference, and therefore that summary judgment in favor of the defendant-city was warranted. 378 F.Supp.3d 933.

Following the court’s summary judgment order, on May 28, 2019, the parties notified the court of having entered into a settlement of the remaining claims. However, the terms of the settlement agreement are unavailable publicly. Given the resolution of outstanding issues, the court dismissed the case on May 31, 2019 with prejudice and without costs to any of the parties. The case is now closed.
