Resource: Saravia v. Sessions

In June 2017, the ACLU Foundation of Northern California sued Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) for using unsubstantiated claims of gang affiliation to illegally detain teenagers in jail-like facilities in California. The clients are also represented by the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and Cooley LLP.
