On October 16, 2025, CLEAR Clinic - a nonprofit which provides free, barrier-reducing legal services to Oregonians in the practice areas of immigration justice, housing justice, and court record relief - filed this lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon to challenge deportation practices in the Willamette Valley undertaken in support of deportation quotas. Plaintiffs named Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security, and several other federal agencies and officials as defendants. They alleged that Defendants' mass deportations violated the Fifth Amendment right to counsel, First Amendment right to hire and consult with counsel, and the ultra vires doctrine under the APA. Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief enjoining further violations of Plaintiffs’ rights by requiring Defendants to provide meaningful access to counsel for individuals held in their civil immigration custody before transferring such individuals outside of the District of Oregon.

This case is ongoing.
