Case Summary

This case is one of several challenging a January 20, 2025, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy (outlined in a document termed the “Huffman Memorandum”) that rescinded the Federal Government’s longstanding policy not to conduct immigration enforcement in “protected areas,” such as churches and schools. The previous policy, outlined in a 2021 DHS memorandum, had specified that agents were to refrain, to the fullest extent possible, from engaging in law enforcement actions near or i…

On April 28, 2025, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noreste and several faith-based and community organizations filed suit in the District of Oregon against DHS, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and their officials. Represented by Innovation Law Lab and the Justice Action Center, the plaintiffs brought claims under the First Amendment, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). They sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as attorneys’ fees. The case was assigned to Judge Ann L. Aiken.

In their complaint, the Plaintiffs argued that rescinding the sensitive-locations policy violated the First Amendment by chilling religious and community participation, violated RFRA by burdening religious exercise without showing a least-restrictive means, and was arbitrary and capricious under the APA for disregarding decades of reliance, safety concerns, and foreseeable chilling effects on immigrant communities.

On July 21, 2025, defendants moved to dismiss, arguing that plaintiffs lacked standing because the Huffman Memorandum regulated only internal agency priorities; that the policy did not impose a “substantial burden” under RFRA or a “significant burden” on associational rights under the First Amendment; and that the APA claim failed because the 2025 guidance was an internal matter “committed to agency discretion” and not a “final agency action.” Defendants also noted three related challenges to the same memo pending in other districts: Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (8:25-cv-00243), Denver Public Schools v. Noem (1:25-cv-00474), and Mennonite Church USA v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (1:25-cv-00403).

Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on September 10, 2025, refining their standing allegations based on post-filing events and adding additional plaintiffs, but preserving the same four causes of action.

On October 1, 2025, defendants moved to stay the case during the federal government shutdown for up to 30 days. Plaintiffs did not oppose. Judge Aiken granted the stay on October 10, directing the parties to confer and submit a proposed schedule once funding was restored. An order lifting the stay was issued on November 25, 2025.

This case is ongoing.
