Case Summary

On April 28, 2022, the State of Arizona and thirteen other states, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), and the United States generally. Requesting declaratory and injunctive relief, the plaintiff-states took issue with an interim final rule on asylum (“Asylum IFR”). Plaintiffs alleged that the rule made it “substantially easier for unauthorized economic migrants to enter the United States and obtain asylum through false claims” by empowering asylum officers to conduct final adjudication of asylum claims arising from the border. This authority, according to the plaintiffs, rested only with the DOJ’s Executive Office of Immigration Review (“EOIR”) per the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”). As such, the plaintiffs alleged that the rule violated the Administrative Procedure Act for (a) exceeding the defendants’ statutory authority over powers of asylum adjudication and parole, (b) being arbitrary and capricious, and (c) lacking sufficient notice and comment. The plaintiff-states further alleged that the rule violated the INA as well as the President’s constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” under the Take Care Clause of the Constitution. An amended complaint was subsequently filed on May 6, whereby additional states joined the original plaintiffs. The case was assigned to Judge David C. Joseph.

On April 29, the defendants filed a motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing it was the only federal court with subject matter jurisdiction over the case. The defendants also filed a motion to stay the case until the motion to transfer was resolved. On May 16, the plaintiffs also filed a motion for preliminary injunction to prohibit the rule from going into effect, or alternatively, that the effective date of the Asylum IFR be delayed until final resolution of this action

Following briefings on the matter, Judge Joseph denied the motion to transfer and the motion to stay on May 18. Judge Joseph further ordered that the parties engage in a 30-day period of limited discovery, at the end of which the plaintiff-states needed to show that they were “likely” to obtain Article III standing for the Court to proceed with a Preliminary Injunction hearing. The discovery deadline was then extended on June 27 for an additional 60 days.

A status conference was held on July 21, wherein the court indicated that an order would be issued staying the case pending the filing of a second amended complaint. The following day, Judge Joseph then issued said order, which indicated that the plaintiff-states withdrew their motion for preliminary injunction and that all discovery requests were withdrawn. The case was stayed for 30 days to allow plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. Over the course of the next few months, the court granted multiple extensions to file the second amended complaint.

On October 14, the plaintiffs filed a motion for limited jurisdictional discovery, requesting that the defendants provide certain asylum statistics. However, the court deferred ruling on the matter until the plaintiffs filed their amended complaint.

The second amended complaint was ultimately filed on November 10, 2022. The complaint was largely similar to its previous versions, seeking declaratory relief on the same claims; however, instead of permanent injunctive relief, the second amended complaint requested only that the Asylum IFR’s effective date be postponed.

On February 16, 2023, the state of Arizona voluntarily dismissed the claims as to itself. The case proceeded with the remaining nineteen plaintiff-states.

The district court then ordered the parties to confer regarding the scope, procedure, and time frame for a period of jurisdictional discovery, with monthly status conferences following suit. Throughout the course of discovery, though, many issues arose. For example, numerous non-parties motioned to quash subpoenas against themselves, and the plaintiffs filed a motion to compel the defendants to produce documents and information in response to their requests. On May 24, 2023, Judge Joseph denied the motions to quash as moot and granted in part the plaintiffs’ motion to compel. Discovery continued through the next few months.

Ultimately, on December 22, 2023, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint because the plaintiffs lacked Article III standing and the district court lacked jurisdiction. Following replies and responses to the motion, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part on April 16, 2024. The court noted that the states did not sufficiently establish an economic injury in fact, nor could they substantiate said injury with evidence of increased expenditures as a result of the Asylum IFR. As such, the plaintiffs’ claims challenging the Asylum IFR under the APA were dismissed. 730 F.Supp.3d 258.

On June 7, 2024, the plaintiff-states appealed the district court’s judgment to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (docket: 24-30359). At the appellate level, the parties’ final briefs were ordered to be filed with the court by February 26, 2025.
