Clearinghouse coding complete
This case was filed on March 10, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The plaintiff, the State of Maryland as represented by Attorney General Anthony Brown, sued Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, ICE, Kristi Noem, and DHS. The case arose from ICE's refusal to comply with a state administrative subpoena seeking records about conditions in its Baltimore immigration detention hold rooms, where detainees have allegedly been subjected to severe overcrowding, denial of medical care, and other inhumane conditions. Plaintiff brought three counts under the Administrative Procedure Act, arguing ICE's denial was contrary to law, arbitrary and capricious, and unreasonably delayed.
Defendants initially failed to respond to the complaint. Thus, Plaintiffs filed for summary judgment on March 29, 2026, once again requesting that the court declare Defendants' denial of the subpoena as contrary to law and/or arbitrary and capricious. Plaintiffs further asked that the court vacate Defendant's denial of the administrative subpoena due to the unreasonable delay, and order Defendants to produce the documents requested.
This case is ongoing.
