Case Summary

On February 10, 2026, a group of Latinx plaintiffs sued state and federal actions working on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts in Idaho in U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho.

On February 10, 2026, a group of Latinx plaintiffs sued state and federal actions working on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts in Idaho in U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. In their complaint, plaintiffs allege that at a large Latino gathering, a sizable group of law enforcement officers raided their event. They allegedly rounded up the entire crowd, zip-tied most of the adults and many teenagers, and ordered everyone onto the track, detaining the crowd of hundreds for four hours. Plaintiffs claim the mass seizure of the crowd was not merely incident to the execution of a narrow search warrant. Instead, the defendants in this action conspired to abuse a criminal search warrant as cover to go fishing for immigration arrests at an event where they knew they would encounter a large number of Latino individuals. Plaintiffs filed a class action suit, seeking to represent "all those individuals who were temporarily seized at La Catedral on October 19, 2025, who were not arrested for criminal violations."

Plaintiffs included several causes of action. First, they filed under Section 1983 Conspiracy to Conduct Unreasonable Seizure In Violation of the Fourth Amendment; second, Section 1983 Conspiracy to Deny Equal Protection In Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment; third, Section 1985(3) Conspiracy to Deprive Individuals of Equal Protection; fourth, Section 1986 Failure to Prevent Deprivation of Equal Protection; fifth, Unreasonable Seizure in Violation of the Fourth Amendment; sixth, Deprivation of Equal Protection in Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment; seventh, Unreasonable Searches in Violation of the Fourth Amendment; and eighth, Excessive Force in Violation of the Fourth Amendment. 

Plaintiffs sought class certification, declaratory relief, and damages. 

This case is ongoing.
