Case Summary

On October 5, 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation (ACLUF) filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of an American citizen being detained by the United States military in Iraq. The plaintiff sued the Secretary of Defense under the federal habeas corpus statute, 28 U.S.C. §2241, the Non-Detention Act of 1971, and 18 U.S.C. § 4001(a).

On October 5, 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation (ACLUF) filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of an American citizen being detained by the United States military in Iraq. The plaintiff sued the Secretary of Defense under the federal habeas corpus statute, 28 U.S.C. §2241, the Non-Detention Act of 1971, and 18 U.S.C. § 4001(a). The plaintiff sought injunctive relief, claiming violations of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The Defense Department had detained the plaintiff since on or around September 14, 2017, after Syrian forces transferred him to U.S. Custody. The Defense Department asserted it was detaining the plaintiff because he was allegedly fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ("ISIS") in Syria. The ACLUF claimed that the Defense Department held the plaintiff "without charge, without access to a court or other meaningful opportunity to challenge his detention before a neutral decisionmaker, and without access to counsel."

The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on October 30, 2017. They alleged that the ACLUF lacked standing to seek habeas corpus relief on the plaintiff's behalf and that the circumstances did not warrant the ACLUF's immediate access to the plaintiff. On December 23, 2017, District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan denied the motion. 286 F. Supp. 3d 53. She ordered the Defense Department to allow the ACLUF immediate and unmonitored access to the plaintiff for the purpose of determining whether the plaintiff wished for the ACLUF to continue this action on his behalf. She also ordered the Defense Department to refrain from transferring the plaintiff until the ACLUF informed the court of the plaintiff's wishes regarding his representation in this action. The plaintiff presumably requested that the ACLUF continue the action on his behalf.

The plaintiff moved for the court to prevent the Defense Department from transferring him to another country while his case was pending. Judge Chutkan granted in part and denied in part this motion on January 23, 2018. She held that the court would not enjoin the Defense Department from transferring the plaintiff but would require it to provide the court and the plaintiff's counsel with seventy-two hours' notice prior to any transfer. 288 F. Supp. 3d 195. The defendants appealed this judgment on February 2, 2018. On April 18, 2018, the plaintiff sought a preliminary injunction to prevent the Defense Department from transferring the plaintiff from U.S. custody into the custody of another country. Judge Chutkan granted this motion on April 19, 2018. The defendants appealed this judgment on April 20, 2018.

The defendants' two appeals were consolidated. On May 7, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sustained both of the district court's orders. The opinion for the court was filed by Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan, with whom Circuit Judge Robert L. Wilkins joins. A dissenting opinion was filed by Circuit Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson. 889 F.3d 745.

On June 22, 2018, the plaintiff filed a sealed motion for a preliminary injunction and the party underwent settlement discussions. On October 28, 2018, the Defense Department released the plaintiff and the parties agreed to dismiss this case with prejudice. On November 7, 2018, the court dismissed this case with prejudice and order each party to bear its own costs and fees.

The plaintiff then filed an unopposed motion for extension of time to destroy documents and the court granted this order on February 28, 2019. In addition, the court ordered that the plaintiff must file any motion to challenge continued designation of materials by April 8, 2019.

On April 8, 2019, the plaintiff moved to unseal documents relating to the government’s proposed forcible transfer of the plaintiff into Syria, namely. The next day, the New York Times sought to intervene and filed a motion to unseal in the D. C. Circuit. In the district court, however, the plaintiff indicated that the parties had reached an agreement regarding the motion to unseal, in its motion to hold in abeyance the briefing deadline on June 8, and the court stayed the motion to unseal.

On June 28, 2019, the D.C. Circuit granted the motion to intervene by the New York Times, withdrew the motion to unseal filed on April 9, and reissued an unredacted version of the appellate court opinion barring transfer. 928 F.3d 1.
