On December 19, 2025, Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against Kristi Noem and several other federal immigration authorities in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs sought to challenge an October 20, 2025 DHS memorandum allowing low-level immigration officials to deport individuals from the United States without meaningful review. Filing under the APA, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Immigration and Nationality Act, Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as attorneys' fees.

This case is ongoing.
