COVID-19 Summary: In this case filed on March 16, 2020 by nine particularly vulnerable immigration detainees, the court declined to grant preliminary relief. It held that ongoing detention was not unlawfully punitive notwithstanding the threat posed by congregate detention during the coronavirus pandemic and found that the immigration facility was taking adequate measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. After a report and recommendations from the Magistrate Judge, the court dismissed the action with prejudice on November 19, 2020.


On March 16, 2020, nine persons held in civil detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma, WA who, because their age or underlying medical conditions, were particularly susceptible to a serious COVID-19 infection filed this habeas petition and complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. Represented by the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, the ACLU National Prison Project, and the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, the plaintiffs sued ICE, two of its directors, and the warden of the Tacoma detention center. The plaintiffs alleged that harm posed to them by continued detention during the COVID-19 pandemic violated their right to substantive due process under the Fifth Amendment. They sought a writ of habeas corpus ordering their immediate release or, in the alternative, injunctive relief ordering ICE to release them. The plaintiffs also sought attorney’s fees, costs, and declaratory relief that "continued detention in civil immigration custody of individuals at increased risk for severe illness, including all people over fifty years old and persons of any age with underlying medical conditions that may increase the risk of serious COVID-19, violates the Due Process Clause."

The case was assigned to Judge James L. Robart and Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler.

The Northwest Detention Center is located in the Seattle metropolitan area, which experienced the first and, as of March 17, 2020, largest COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. In response, public health measures throughout the area emphasized and enforced social distancing. However, immigration detention facilities are “congregate environments,” or places where people live and sleep in close proximity and, thus, cannot practice social distancing. Given the crowding and lack of adequate medical infrastructure, if COVID-19 were introduced into the detention center, it would spread easily. The spread of COVID-19 (for which there was no vaccine, known treatment, or cure) would be especially dangerous for detainees over the age of 50 or those with certain underlying health conditions such as lung, heart, and kidney disease. The complaint included recommendations from public health experts that these high-risk individuals be released from detention for their own safety.

The plaintiffs asserted that the Fifth Amendment guarantees that civil detainees, including immigrant detainees, may not be subjected to punishment, and that this right is violated when civil detainees are subjected to "conditions of confinement that amount to punishment or [the federal government] does not ensure those detainees’ safety and health." The plaintiffs contended that by continuing to detain high-risk individuals, the defendants subjected them to conditions that amounted to punishment and that failed to ensure their safety and health. The plaintiffs further claimed that continued detention with the possibility of a COVID-19 outbreak in the facility subjected the plaintiffs to a substantial risk of serious harm, in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Lastly, the plaintiffs argued that ICE has the authority to exercise discretion in releasing vulnerable civil immigrant detainees like the plaintiffs.

Immediately, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) for their immediate release.

Three days later, on March 19, Judge Robart issued an order denying the plaintiffs' motion for a TRO. Judge Robart concluded that the continued detention of these vulnerable plaintiffs amidst an outbreak of COVID-19 in the surrounding area did not amount to punishment. Judge Robart found that the conditions did not amount to punishment because there were no allegations of "express intent" to punish plaintiffs and because continued detention of plaintiffs was not excessive relative to the government's objective of "preventing detained aliens from absconding and ensuring that they appear for removal proceedings." Furthermore, Judge Robart decided that, because the plaintiffs only alleged the "possibility of harm," not that an outbreak of COVID-19 actually existed at NWDC, plaintiffs did not show that irreparable harm was likely in the absence of an injunction. In a footnote, Judge Robart stated that "the court is mindful of the gravity and rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. The court emphasizes that this order is based on and extends no further than the narrow set of facts, arguments, and requested relief presently before the court." 447 F. Supp. 3d 1047.

The defendants' filing opposing entry of a TRO had argued that the plaintiffs lacked standing. The court declined to rule on this in the March 19 order because the plaintiffs had not had an opportunity to respond. On March 20, the court ordered the plaintiffs to respond and explain why this case should not be dismissed for lack of standing.

On March 24, the plaintiffs filed a second motion for a TRO premised on developments in how courts were responding to the possibility of a COVID-19 outbreak in immigration detention facilities. The plaintiffs cited to a Ninth Circuit decision "releasing an individual from immigration detention '[i]n light of the rapidly escalating public health crisis, which public health authorities predict will especially impact immigration detention centers'" (Xochihua-Jaimes v. Barr). The plaintiffs also referenced "other federal court orders releasing individuals 'on bail or delay[ing] their imprisonment in light of the COVID-19 crisis'" and the fact that individuals have tested positive for COVID-19 at other immigration detention facilities in the United States.

In response, the defendants argued that the plaintiffs' continued detention was not "an excessive condition in relation to the legitimate objective of immigration detention." Defendants asserted that, at the time of filing, there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19, overcrowding was not an issue, and that ICE had "implemented robust procedures and protocols to protect the detainees." The defendants also filed a notice of supplemental authority, citing cases in which courts in this district denied motions for TROs to release immigration detainees on Fifth Amendment grounds.

On April 8, Judge Robart denied the plaintiffs' second motion for a TRO. First, Judge Robart found that the plaintiffs had standing, as they sufficiently alleged a concrete injury in the form of unsafe conditions, these conditions were traceable to defendants, and this injury was likely to be redressed by their release. Judge Robart also found that the court had jurisdiction to adjudicate the motion via a habeas petition. But Judge Robart concluded that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits because there had not yet been a confirmed case of COVID-19 at the NWDC and because defendants submitted "evidence that they are taking substantial measures at this moment to prevent an outbreak of COVID-19 at the NWDC and contain an outbreak should one occur." Judge Robart further stated that "it would be improper for this court to rely on conditions at other detention facilities to conclude that the conditions at the NWDC represent a Fifth Amendment violation." Judge Robart also concluded that plaintiffs did not meet their burden of showing that irreparable injury is likely in the absence of an injunction: "the court cannot conclude either that the spread of COVID-19 inside the NWDC is inevitable, or that Respondents will be unable to contain it if it occurs."

Judge Robart also ordered defendants to inform the plaintiffs and the court "within at least 24 hours after learning that any individual physically present at the NWDC tests positive for or is otherwise diagnosed with COVID-19." 2020 WL 1704324.

The next day, Magistrate Judge Theiler issued an order for defendants to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted by April 30. Defendants were also ordered to file a status update with the court if the custody status of any plaintiff changed.

On April 30, defendants filed a motion to dismiss and a memorandum showing why a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. During summer and fall of 2020, the parties filed many key documents, but the Clearinghouse does not have access to them due to restrictions on PACER. However, from the docket, the defendants filed numerous notices in response to the court's April 8 decision (often several per week) and implemented a new COVID-19 testing protocol on June 8.

Magistrate Judge Theiler filed a report and recommendation on August 17, recommending that the court deny the plaintiffs' habeas petition and request for injunctive relief and to dismiss the action with prejudice. 2020 WL 6810978. Magistrate Judge Theiler found that the defendants had taken substantial steps to abate the risk of COVID-19 and that the court could no longer conclude that risk of COVID-19 in NWDC was "imminent."

The plaintiffs filed objections to the Magistrate's report on August 31, to which ICE responded on September 14. On November 19, 2020, the court adopted the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation, and dismissed the case with prejudice, stating that if the plaintiffs believed they suffered new constitutional harms due to evolving situations with the COVID-19 pandemic, they could file a new action. 2020 WL 6799009.
