(This summary is temporary while we research the case). This is a case concerning immigration and the treatment of individuals detained by local law enforcement in New York.
The lawsuit was filed in 2017, challenging the practices of the New York City Department of Correction (DOC) regarding detaining individuals based on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers.
Plaintiffs: The case represents individuals who were allegedly detained beyond their scheduled release dates due to ICE requests, leading to claims of false imprisonment. The plaintiffs argue that the DOC unlawfully held them based solely on ICE detainers, which they assert lack legal authority under state law.
