Case Summary

In December 2017, the ACLU of Northern California submitted a request to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement seeking documents related to the agency's use of a private contractor known as G4S Secure Solutions to restrain, process, and transport immigration detainees. G4S had reportedly been involved in instances of assault and neglect against detainees in their custody, including a 2014 incident during which a detainee died. The ACLU specifically sought r…

In December 2017, the ACLU of Northern California submitted a request to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement seeking documents related to the agency's use of a private contractor known as G4S Secure Solutions to restrain, process, and transport immigration detainees. G4S had reportedly been involved in instances of assault and neglect against detainees in their custody, including a 2014 incident during which a detainee died. The ACLU specifically sought records regarding the policies and procedures used by G4S and the manner in which the company was awarded its contracts with the government, totaling in excess of $200 million. The agency did not provide the records to the ACLU.

On July 10, 2018, the ACLU filed this suit against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The ACLU, represented by private counsel and in-house attorneys, sought declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, they sought an order directing the defendant to release the requested records; a declaration that the defendant's refusal to provide the records was illegal; and attorneys' fees. The case was assigned to Magistrate Judge Laura Beeler.

The parties began filing case management updates shortly after filing the suit. Magistrate Judge Beeler put a minute entry into the record on March 8, 2019 asking the plaintiffs to provide a narrowed version of their FOIA request within a week. Subsequent case management statements showed that the plaintiffs submitted a narrower request within the deadline, though a June 13, 2019 case management statement from the ACLU indicated that the plaintiffs were concerned that the defendants would not process the revised requests in a timely manner.

On June 26, 2019, the court received notice of a possibly related case from G4S, Liborio Ramos v. G4S Secure Solutions, 19-cv-02757 in N.D. Cal. This new case was filed by a private citizen represented by the ACLU alleging assault, battery, negligence, and negligent infliction of emotional distress in ICE custody via G4S. The defendants resisted relating the two cases, but Magistrate Judge Beeler filed an order relating the two cases on July 8, 2019.

Document production continued after the cases were combined. In a September 26, 2019 case management conference, Magistrate Judge Beeler ordered the defendant to increase production of documents from 500 a month to 750 a month. COVID-19 moved document production and further case management conferences online in late March. A May 7, 2020 case management report shows difficulty in getting monthly document productions over to the plaintiffs in March and April, but the defendants promised to work with the plaintiffs to figure out the cause of the issue. Production is ongoing.

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler: Further Case Management Conference held on 3/8/2019. The court held a case-management conference. The plaintiffs will give the defendants a narrowed version of their FOIA request (as specific as possible) within a week. The government will confer with the client and within a week of receipt, will update the plaintiffs about any proposed narrowing and the time period for collection of the records. After the time period for collection of the records has lapsed, the government will update the plaintiffs about the volume of records collected and propose a time period for producing that information. If the request is sufficiently narrow, this may allow production to the plaintiffs by May. Thereafter, the parties will confer about a timeline for further narrowed requests or the production of a Vaughn index (and will discuss whether the agency might produce a rolling Vaughn index based on the plaintiffs' prioritization of certain productions). As a calendaring device, the court sets a further case-management conference for June 20, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. and directs the parties to file an updated case-management statement by June 13, 2019. The parties may adjust this case-management conference by stipulation (and may request an earlier conference if it would be helpful). (Not Reported). Further Case Management Conference set for 6/20/2019 at 11:00 AM in San Francisco, Courtroom B, 15th Floor. Case Management Statement due by 6/13/2019.

CLERK'S NOTICE RE: MARCH 19, 2020 HEARING: Through at least April 17, 2020, the court will not have any in-person civil case-management conferences or civil motions hearings and instead will have telephonic appearances. For motions hearings, the court is open to hearings by Skype for Business or Google Hangouts (because for now, the court cannot host conferences by Zoom). (This latter approach requires IT staff to provide the court with a web cam so there may be some delay.) Telephonic appearances generally are by CourtCall, but the court also circulates the following conference number, which can accommodate up to 200 people and allow the equivalent of a public hearing by telephone: Dial In: 877-336-1839 Access Code: 8191201# Security Code: 200319# (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
