On June 22, 2018, Innovation Law Lab and an immigration detainee at Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Sheridan filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Oregon. The plaintiffs sued the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DSHS), the Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Acting Field Office Director for the Seattle office of ICE, the Attorney General of the United States, Acting Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the Warden of FDC Sheridan in their official capacities. They filed their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and also included a petition for habeas corpus alleging that the detainees at Sheridan were unlawfully denied their rights under the First and Fifth Amendments. The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU of Oregon and private counsel, sought declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, the plaintiffs sought (1) a declaration that the defendants were in violation of the APA, INA, and constitutional law; (2) that the detainees be released unless they receive adequate attorney access; (3) installation of telephones in the detainee’s units; and (4) attorneys' fees. The plaintiffs claimed Innovation Lab's attorneys had been repeatedly denied access to the detainees at Sheridan, which prevented it from communicating with clients or conducting intake interviews and “know-your-rights” trainings. Additionally, prisoners lacked telephone access or any other meaningful forms of communication with the outside world. The plaintiffs' complaint was accompanied by a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) requesting immediate access to prisoners and installation of telephone lines.

The District Judge issued an order on June 25, 2018 for a TRO of 28 days, which instructed the defendants to provide adequate access to counsel for detainees at Sheridan and to install telephones in the detainees' units capable of making free calls to legal counsel. Significantly, the judge ordered that detainees could not undergo the asylum interview process until they had received either a know-your-rights training or consulted with legal counsel. Additionally, when detainees' asylum interviews were scheduled, the court required that the Federal Public Defender’s office as well as any representative counsel must be given timely notice of the proceedings.

The TRO was extended by seven days until July 30, 2018, and the plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary injunction on July 22, 2018. They argued that the 35-day time period had not been sufficient to give constitutionally adequate counsel to the detainees at Sheridan. The plaintiffs requested continued access to the detainees but no longer requested a suspension of removal proceedings or asylum interviews. The District Judge approved the motion and ordered a preliminary injunction requiring continued adequate access to legal counsel for the detainees. Additionally, detainees would not be transferred outside Oregon without the consent of their counsel or prior leave of the court.

On October 5, 2018 the court approved the plaintiffs' motion to amend the preliminary injunction to reduce the number of attorney visitation rooms requested.

On December 4, 2018 the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit because no detainees remained at Sheridan. 97% of the detainees had been released to pursue their immigration court proceedings in a non-detained setting after receiving Innovation Law Lab legal counsel. One detainee successfully secured asylum and a final detainee was denied asylum and transferred to to FCI Tacoma while he pursued appellate options.

This case is now closed.

ORDER - In anticipation of the oral argument set for November 2, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Complaint for Lack of Jurisdiction and for Mootness (ECF 59 ), the Court would appreciate the parties being prepared to discuss the following question: If this Court properly had subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute when the complaint was filed because removal proceedings had not yet begun, can there be "retroactive destruction of jurisdiction" after removal proceedings commence, based on 8 U.S.C. sec. 1252(b)(9)? The Court understands that Defendants deny the premise of this question. The Court also understands that Plaintiffs assert that Section 1252(b)(9) does not apply in this case because their claims are "wholly independent of and collateral to their removal proceedings." Putting aside for a moment these specific arguments by Plaintiffs and Defendants, the Court would appreciate the parties' views on whether a case that begins with subject matter matter jurisdiction being present can ever lose jurisdiction based on post-filing events. In addressing that question, the parties may want to consider the following cases: (1) Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus, Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 292 (2005); (2) Judge Noonan's dissent in Ahmed v. Washington, 276 F.3d 464, 474-75 (Noonan, J., dissenting) (9th Cir. 2001), as amended (Dec. 27, 2001), vacated, 294 F.3d 1092 (9th Cir. 2002); and (3) Morgans Heirs v. Morgan, 15 U.S. (2 Wheat.) 290, 294-95 (1817) (Chief Justice John Marshall writing, "The general rule is, that a court, once having jurisdiction of a case, will keep it.").
