Petitioner Carmen Aracely Pablo Sequen, an asylum seeker from Guatemala, arrived in the United States in 2023. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents arrested her one week later. DHS released her on her own recognizance and initiated removal proceedings in immigration court. The petitioner remained in San Francisco for two years and complied with the conditions of her release. Then, on July 31, 2025, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), re-arrested her as she left immigration court, without notice or a hearing, on a warrant issued under § 1226.

On August 1, 2025, the petitioner filed for a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, claiming that her detention violated her procedural and substantive due-process rights. Judge P. Casey Pitts was assigned to this case.

That same day, the petitioner moved for an ex parte for a temporary restraining order (TRO) that would, among other things, require her immediate release from her ongoing detention and prohibit her re-arrest without a pre-detention bond hearing. The court immediately granted the TRO and ordered the government to immediately release the petitioner. On September 16, 2025, Judge Pitts decided to convert the TRO into a preliminary injunction, finding that the government did not provide evidence proving they had a valid interest in the petitioner's continued detention.

Two days later, the petitioner filed an amended petition for habeas corpus adding three new named petitioners who were also arrested by ICE while leaving immigration court. That same day, the petitioners moved for an injunctive class and for a TRO that covered the new named petitioners. The court granted the TRO on September 18, and ordered the government to release the named petitioner. On October 15, the court granted the petitioners' request to convert that TRO into a preliminary injunction that prohibits the detention of the named petitioners without notice and a pre-deprivation hearing.

This case is ongoing.
