Advocates for Human Rights (AHR) is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit organization headquartered in Minneapolis. AHR’s Immigration Legal Services Program (ILS) provides free legal representation to low-income immigrants in the upper Midwest, including asylum seekers, individuals in detention, unaccompanied children, and trafficking survivors. On January 27, an anonymous woman, L.H.M., arrived at the offices of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program in Bloomington, Minnesota, for a check-in as part of an Order of Supervision with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE arrested her after she entered the offices and, on information and belief, she is currently being detained by the government at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building. AHR brought suit on behalf of L.H.M. and all detainees in the Whipple Building. The plaintiff filed this complaint in the District Court of Minnesota on January 27, 2026. The case has been assigned to Judge Nancy Ellen Brasel.

AHR alleged that, since at least January 11, 2026, the government has not provided detainees at Whipple with constitutionally adequate or statutorily compliant access to counsel. Detainees claim that federal agents at Whipple, including FPS officers and at least one ICE attorney, have told attorneys for detainees that no visitation between detainees and attorneys is or has ever been permitted at Whipple. However, rooms at Whipple are specifically designated for attorney visitations. Further, detainees are either denied outgoing phone calls or are not allowed to use private phones to call counsel. On at least one occasion, an attorney visiting Whipple with permission from facility officials was threatened with arrest for moving toward the entrance. On another occasion, when a lawyer attempted to visit a client, he was confronted by six armed security personnel, one of whom said, “We’re not having a debate here—turn your car around and get the hell out of here.”

The proposed class brought their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), claiming that ICE’s actions violate the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The plaintiffs pointed to numerous alleged actions that would contradict the National Detention Standards (NDS), which govern the operation of ICE detention facilities. The plaintiffs requested declaratory judgment, attorneys’ fees, and an order requiring ICE to provide detainees access to counsel. On January 28, 2026, the plaintiffs moved to certify the class and appoint class counsel.

Prior to ruling on the motion for class certification, the court granted Plaintiff's motion for a TRO on February 12, 2026. Defendants, and all those in active concert, were ordered to provide all detainees at the Federal Whipple Building with a list of free legal service providers, and written notification of the Detainee’s A-number, within one hour of their respective detention. The order was set to remain in effect until February 26, 2026.

On March 6, plaintiffs filed a motion and memorandum under seal seeking a preliminary injunction. After briefing on the matter, Judge Brasel found that the defendant's actions violated noncitizens' Fifth Amendment due process rights to meaningful access to counsel and concluded that the restrictions were excessive and not rationally related to legitimate security concerns. Consequently, the court granted the preliminary injunction, requiring the provision of written materials and free phone access within one hour of detention, real-time updates to the detainee locator system, a 72-hour hold on out-of-state transfers, and legal visitation access seven days per week. Judge Brasel also granted plaintiffs provisional certification of a narrower class than proposed, consisting of "noncitizens taken into custody by Defendants under the Immigration and Nationality Act and detained at the ERO Holding Facility at the Whipple Federal Building."

A pretrial conference is scheduled for May 18, 2026. This case is ongoing.
