Case Summary

This was the first lawsuit brought to challenge the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (“DACA”). The plaintiff, a DACA recipient, came to the United States from Mexico at seven years old. On May 14, 2015, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) revoked the plaintiff’s three-year employment authorization on the grounds that a nationwide preliminary injunction issued by the Southern District of Texas in Texas v. United States barred the plaintiff from receiving further employment authorization. Represented by the National Immigration Law Center, Make the Road New York (“MRNY”), and the Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic at Yale Law School, the plaintiff filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on August 25, 2016.

The plaintiff sued several officials at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), alleging that the Texas court lacked jurisdiction and authority to enter a nationwide preliminary injunction. Specifically, the complaint contended that the defendants’ revocation of the plaintiff’s employment authorization was not in accordance with law, in violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(a), because it relied on the unlawfully broad preliminary injunction in Texas v. United States. The plaintiff also alleged that the revocation violated 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(d) because it was not done “for good cause shown” or for any other reason permitted by 8 C.F.R. § 274a.14, and thus occurred “without observance of procedure required by law.” The complaint sought declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The case was assigned to District Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis and Magistrate Judge James Orenstein.

The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 29, 2016, which added MRNY as a plaintiff on behalf of itself and its members.

On September 5, 2017, the new Trump Administration issued the Duke Memo, which announced DHS’s decision to terminate DACA.

In response, the plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint on September 19, 2017. The complaint added five individual DACA recipients as plaintiffs and added the Secretary of DHS, the U.S. Attorney General, and the President of the United States as defendants. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the USCIS defendants. The amended complaint made five claims: (1) the DACA termination violated 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(d) because DHS did not follow notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures; (2) the DACA termination constituted arbitrary and capricious agency action in violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(a) because DHS did not provide a rational basis for the change in policy on which persons had reasonably relied, the DACA rescission was based on a legal error, and DHS failed to consider all relevant factors; (3) DHS violated the Regulatory Flexibility Act (“RFA," 5 U.S.C. §§ 601 et seq.) by failing to conduct regulatory flexibility analysis to determine how terminating DACA would affect small organizations; (4) the government violated the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause by failing to properly notify DACA recipients of the pending termination; and (5) the DACA termination discriminated against Latinos, violating the Fifth Amendment’s equal protection provision. The complaint sought declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and to vacate the DACA termination.

On October 18, 2017, the government moved to stay discovery and the privilege log requirement until the court ruled on whether the defendants’ administrative record was complete. Judge Garaufis narrowed the scope of the privilege log requirement on October 19, but declined to grant the stay.

The government petitioned for a writ of mandamus in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on October 19, 2017. The petition requested the Second Circuit to mandate the district court to stay discovery and supplementation of the administrative record, including any privilege log requirements. The Second Circuit granted the stay on October 23, 2017, pending consideration of the petition by a three-judge panel. On December 27, 2017, the Second Circuit denied the petition.

Meanwhile, in the district court, the government moved to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim on October 27, 2017. The court partially granted the motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and reserved ruling on the motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, on November 9, 2017. Judge Garaufis held that the DACA rescission was not “committed to agency discretion by law” under 5 U.S.C. § 701(a)(2) and thus judicial review was appropriate. The court also held that DHS’s decision to terminate DACA did not fall under one of the INA’s 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g) exceptions to judicial review. However, the court dismissed the Fifth Amendment notice claim, holding that DHS’s failure to provide DACA recipients with individualized notice of the renewal deadline did not constitute an injury, and thus the plaintiffs lacked standing. The government appealed the order on January 8, 2018.

The plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on December 11, 2017. In the amended complaint, MRNY asserted a new claim challenging the government’s processing of renewal requests submitted pursuant to the DACA Rescission Memo, under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. The plaintiffs also moved for a preliminary injunction vacating the defendants’ termination of DACA and for class certification on December 15, 2017. The defendants moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on December 26, 2017.

The district court issued a preliminary injunction on February 13, 2018, which enjoined the government from rescinding DACA until the court issued a decision on the merits. Judge Garaufis held that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the substantive APA claims because DHS did not offer legally adequate reasons for terminating DACA. The court clarified that the preliminary injunction merely ordered a return to the pre-rescission status quo, and did not issue a final determination on the legality of the DACA rescission. The court also denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification as moot, given the preliminary injunction. The government appealed the preliminary injunction on February 20, 2018.

On March 29, 2018, the court partially granted the government’s December 26 motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. The court dismissed the plaintiffs’ procedural APA and RFA claims, finding that the DACA Rescission Memo was a “general statement of policy,” not a legislative rule, and thus the notice-and-comment requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 553 and the RFA’s requirements did not apply. Judge Garaufis also dismissed MRNY’s Fifth Amendment Due Process claim on behalf of requestors whose applications arrived after October 5 due to postal delays or actually contained minor clerical errors. The equal protection and substantive APA claims (relating to the DACA Rescission Memo) remained intact. The government appealed on May 21, 2018.

On November 19, 2018, the government filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States. The petition asked the Court to consider the following issues:

(1) Whether DHS’s decision to wind down the DACA policy was judicially reviewable.

(2) Whether DHS’s decision to wind down the DACA policy was lawful.

The Court agreed to hear the case on June 28, 2019. This case was consolidated with related cases Trump v. NAACP and DHS v. Regents of the University of California, with future filings appearing on docket No. 18-587.

On June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court vacated the DACA rescission. In an opinion by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., the Court held that (1) DHS’s rescission was reviewable and (2) DHS’s decision to rescind DACA was arbitrary and capricious, in violation of the APA. The Court remanded the case to DHS to consider the problem anew.

First, the DACA rescission did not fall into the Heckler v. Chaney “non-enforcement decision” exception to judicial review because DACA created a program for conferring affirmative relief. Second, the INA’s jurisdictional provisions (8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(b)(9), (g)) did not bar judicial review because the parties did not challenge any removal proceedings, and the rescission was not a decision to “commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders.” Third, the DHS Secretary did not explain the real reasons for the DACA rescission, instead offering impermissible “post hoc rationalization.” Fourth, the DACA Rescission Memo failed to consider important aspects of the problem, such as the option to retain deferred action, and whether DACA engendered “legitimate reliance.”

The Court vacated the district court’s February 13, 2018 preliminary injunction. The Court also partially affirmed the district court’s November 9, 2017 and March 29, 2018 orders.

In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, DHS issued a new memo on June 28, 2020 (the “Wolf Memo”). The Wolf Memo directed DHS personnel to reject all pending and future initial requests for DACA, and to shorten DACA renewals.

On July 29, 2020, the Second Circuit remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion.

The plaintiffs filed a fourth amended class action complaint in the district court on August 28, 2020, challenging the Wolf Memo. First, the complaint challenged DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf’s authority to issue the Wolf Memo. The plaintiffs contended that (1) Mr. Wolf unlawfully assumed the position, in violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (“FVRA”) and the Homeland Security Act (“HSA”), and (2) President Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution (art. II, § 2, cl. 2) by holding the DHS Secretary position vacant for an unreasonably long time. Second, the complaint alleged that the Wolf Memo was arbitrary and capricious under the APA because it lacked a reasoned explanation, failed to consider relevant factors, and was issued by an individual who lacked legal authority. Third, the plaintiffs claimed that the government violated the Fifth Amendment’s Procedural Due Process provision by failing to provide notice of DHS’s refusal to adjudicate first-time DACA applications and of changes to the renewal process.

The complaint sought declaratory relief, vacatur of the Wolf Memo and other actions taken to terminate DACA, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The plaintiffs also sought certification for the following class and subclass: “All persons who are or will be prima facie eligible for deferred action under the terms of the Napolitano Memorandum,” and “All persons who had an application for deferred action through DACA, whether first-time or renewal, pending at USCIS on any date between June 30, 2020 and July 28, 2020, that have not been or will not be adjudicated in accordance with the Napolitano Memorandum.”

Also on August 28, 2020, the plaintiffs moved for partial summary judgment on the FVRA/HSA and Appointments Clause claims. On September 11, 2020, the government filed a cross-motion for summary judgment.

On November 14, 2020, Judge Garaufis granted summary judgment and class certification for the plaintiffs. The court held that Mr. Wolf did not have statutory authority to serve as Acting Secretary when he issued the Wolf Memo, and thus the memo lacked legal authority. The court also found that because Mr. Wolf was designated Acting Secretary under the HSA and not the FVRA, the FVRA did not apply.

The plaintiffs again moved for summary judgment on November 24, 2020, this time on the APA claims. The court granted summary judgment for the plaintiffs on December 4, 2020. Judge Garaufis vacated the Wolf Memo, ordered DHS to post a public notice that it would accept first-time and renewal DACA applications, and required DHS to produce a status report on the DACA program.

The government issued status reports on December 9, 2020 and January 4, 2021.

On July 16, 2021, the Southern District of Texas issued a permanent injunction in Texas v. United States, enjoining DHS from granting any new DACA applications, but allowing the agency to accept new applications and to grant renewal applications. 549 F. Supp. 3d 572.

On June 6, 2022, the plaintiffs asked the court to modify its December 2020 remedial order to clarify what the government can and cannot do in light of the Texas judge’s injunction in Texas v. United States. Specifically, the plaintiffs asked the court to direct DHS to provide DACA applicants with temporary interim relief, such as an opportunity to work and forbearance from deportation.

The court denied the motion on August 3, 2022, holding that the plaintiffs’ requested relief exceeded the purposes of the court’s December 2020 remedial order: (1) to remedy the HSA violation by vacating the Wolf Memo and (2) to ensure that DHS would return to administering the previous policy in good faith. The court clarified that its December 2020 order did not intend to prevent DACA from lawfully changing in the future.

The case is ongoing as of December 20, 2023.

	Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis and Magistrate Judge James Orenstein: Pre-Motion Conference held on 9/14/2017. Counsel for all parties present. The court GRANTED Plaintiffs leave to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiffs shall file their second amended complaint by 9/19/2017. The court GRANTED Defendants leave to file a motion to dismiss and, separately, GRANTED Plaintiffs leave to move for class certification. The court set the following schedule for the anticipated motions: Defendants shall serve their motion to dismiss, and Plaintiffs shall serve their motion for class certification, by 10/20/2017; the parties shall serve their respective responses by 11/17/2017; and the parties shall serve their respective replies and file the fully briefed motions by 12/15/2017.

(Court Reporter Georgette Betts) (Scott, Conrad)	Sept. 15, 2017	Sept. 15, 2017 PACER
58	ORDER: As discussed on the record at the conference in the Batalla Vidal action on September 14, 2017, I respectfully direct the parties to meet and confer about discovery. No later than September 22, 2017, the parties shall report their respective positions on the threshold question of whether discovery should proceed now or await the resolution of the defendants' anticipated motion for dismissal. By the same date, the parties shall submit their respective scheduling proposals in the event discovery is not stayed, as well as a proposed schedule for litigating any specific discovery disputes that the parties have identified as likely to arise. I will expect the parties to be prepared to discuss all matters relating to discovery at the next conference on September 26, 2017. In light of the fact that the parties to the Batalla Vidal action have agreed to the filing of a second amended complaint that will include claims that overlap with those already asserted in State of New York action, I encourage the plaintiffs' counsel in the latter case to participate in the meet-and-confer process in the former. Although issue has not yet been joined in the State of New York action, the participation of counsel from that case in the discovery planning process in the Batalla Vidal action will help to avoid needless burdens on the parties in each case. I therefore invite counsel for the parties in the State of New York action to appear at the conference in the Batalla Vidal action on September 26, 2017, and to participate in the discussion of issues relating to the discovery process.
