Case Summary

This putative class action lawsuit challenges the conditions at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center, including denial of basic necessities like medical and mental health care, access to the outdoors, adequate nutrition and water, and sanitary living conditions. On January 26, 2026, four individuals detained at Adelanto and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a nonprofit immigrant advocacy organization, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Cali…

This putative class action lawsuit challenges the conditions at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center, including denial of basic necessities like medical and mental health care, access to the outdoors, adequate nutrition and water, and sanitary living conditions.

On January 26, 2026, four individuals detained at Adelanto and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a nonprofit immigrant advocacy organization, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), its Acting Director, the Acting Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations’ Los Angeles Field Office, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its then acting DHS Secretary. 

The individual plaintiffs sought to represent a class of all people who are now, or who in the future will be, detained at Adelanto, as well as a subclass of all people who have disabilities within the meaning of the Rehabilitation Act and are now, or in the future will be, detained at Adelanto. The plaintiffs sought certification of the class, declaratory relief, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, including enjoining defendants from retaliating, attorneys' fees, and costs. The case was originally assigned to District Judge Fernando M. Olguin but was later reassigned to District Judge Sunshine Suzanne Sykes following Judge Olguin’s recusal. 

In the complaint, the plaintiffs asserted that the conditions at Adelanto, including inadequate food, clean drinking water, sanitation, and medical care; restrictive and unnecessary limitations on access to the outdoors and to loved ones; and retaliation, amounted to punishment in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. The plaintiffs also asserted a Fifth Amendment Due Process claim based on allegedly inadequate medical care, including failure to respond to urgent and emergent medical and mental health needs, address disease outbreaks, ensure continuity of care and medication, and provide sufficient medical staffing. One of the individual plaintiffs also brought a claim for disability discrimination in violation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, citing the defendants' alleged failure to ensure reasonable accommodations, including assistance with mobility needs, auxiliary aids and services, and effective communication. The plaintiffs also brought a claim for arbitrary and capricious and unlawful agency action in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), by allegedly failing to follow their own policies and standards governing detention, including by rapidly increasing the number of people detained at Adelanto despite obvious risks and performing an inadequate inspection of the facility. 

On March 6, 2026, the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction and a request for judicial notice, asking the court to accept an undisputed fact or law as true without requiring formal proof or testimony. On March 19, 2026, Judge Sykes ordered the parties to meet and confer on a briefing schedule and to decide whether the parties could agree upon a proposed protective order, directing them to file a status report indicating as such. A joint status report was filed on March 20, 2026. 

On April 9, 2026, the plaintiffs moved to certify the class.

On April 20, 2026, the defendants moved to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction, failure to state a claim, intrusion on the Executive’s plenary authority over immigration detention, and failure to fulfill the pleading requirements. On May 5, 2026, the court denied without prejudice the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction and granted them leave to amend the complaint. The court found that CHIRLA lacked organizational standing because the alleged conduct did not directly impair its core activities and that the requested injunction was overly broad and insufficiently tailored to the named plaintiffs’ injuries. 2026 WL 1270746. 

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against all defendants on May 22, 2026. This amended filing added new allegations about recent deaths in custody, unsafe water conditions, and retaliatory practices. The same day, the plaintiffs renewed their motion for a preliminary injunction and class certification. On June 5, 2026, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint based on similar grounds.

On July 16, 2026, the court granted the plaintiffs’ renewed motion for a preliminary injunction, finding that the plaintiffs had demonstrated they were likely to prevail on the merits of their Fifth Amendment and Rehabilitation Act claims and would suffer irreparable harm if the court did not issue relief. The court ordered the defendants to immediately provide access to a medical monitor and a conditions monitor to ensure compliance with the immediate provision of specified conditions (including 24-hour access to clean, potable drinking water, nutritious and sanitary meals that contain a sufficient number of calories) and the development of a remediation plan within 14 days of the order to provide adequate health care and disability accommodations. 2026 WL 2131142. The court also granted the class and disability subclass to be provisionally certified. 

On July 30, 2026, the defendants appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (26-4902). The same day, the defendants moved to stay the case in the district court pending this appeal.

Pursuant to the July 16 order, the defendants filed proposed independent medical monitor candidates and a remedial plan on July 30, 2026. The same day, the plaintiffs filed a stipulation for the appointment of a conditions monitor, whom the court appointed on August 3, 2026. On August 5, the court appointed a jointly proposed medical monitor, and the defendants filed a status report the following day.

Separately, on August 4, 2026, the court denied the defendants' motion to stay pending appeal in the Ninth Circuit. 

On August 12, 2026, the district court certified the class action.

In the Ninth Circuit, the government requested an emergency stay of the district court’s July 16 preliminary injunction order. On August 6, 2026, the Ninth Circuit administratively stayed the preliminary injunction as they were unable to review the injunction, as the memorandum of the decision had not yet been filed by the district court. On August 20, 2026, the Ninth Circuit denied the government’s motion to stay lower court proceedings. The court stated that the government had not “made a strong showing” that it is likely to succeed on the merits and did not show that it would be irreparably injured if a stay were denied; the court found the plaintiffs would be harmed by a stay, and therefore the government did not show the public interest favored a stay. The administrative stay was also lifted, and a briefing schedule for a merits hearing was set. 

As of August 24, 2026, this case remains ongoing in the district and appellate courts.
