Case Summary

This is a case about asylum seekers' right to counsel in refoulment interviews conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services which determine whether an asylum seeker can remain in the United States during their immigration proceedings. On November 5, 2019, asylum seekers filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Southern District of California (in San Diego).

This is a case about asylum seekers' right to counsel in refoulment interviews conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services which determine whether an asylum seeker can remain in the United States during their immigration proceedings.

On November 5, 2019, asylum seekers filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Southern District of California (in San Diego). The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU of San Diego, sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for violating the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 551), the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. §§ 1101), and Plaintiffs’ rights to procedural and substantive due process under the Fifth Amendment and their right to free speech under the First Amendment. The plaintiffs sought a declaration that the Federal Government unlawfully deprived them of access to counsel to prepare for hearings that could result in immediate deportation under the Migrant Protection Protocols (also called the "Remain in Mexico Policy") along with an injunction allowing access to counsel (or habeas relief if access to counsel would be impractical) and attorneys' fees.

The plaintiffs are parents who fled from Guatemala to the United States through Mexico, where they alleged they were robbed and assaulted. They were detained in the United States and faced deportation to Mexico under the Migrant Protection Protocols while their asylum claims were pending in the United States. However, they could avoid deportation if they could establish that their life or freedom would be threatened in Mexico at a "non-refoulement" interview. But the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants prevented them from retaining counsel to help them prepare for and represent them in their impending non-refoulement interviews.

On the same day they filed suit, the plaintiffs asked the Court for a temporary restraining order to allow them access to retained counsel and filed a motion for class certification. Judge Dana M. Sabraw granted a temporary restraining order to enjoin the government from denying the plaintiffs' access to legal counsel before and during their non-refoulement interview on November 12, 2019. Judge Sabraw also certified a class consisting of “all individuals who are detained in CBP custody in California awaiting or undergoing non-refoulement interviews pursuant to what the government calls the 'Migrant Protection Protocols' program and who have retained lawyers” on January 14, 2020. . On the same day, Judge Sabraw issued a class-wide preliminary injunction in the Plaintiffs' favor. 415 F. Supp. 3d 971.

In March of 2020, Defendants appealed the preliminary injunction to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal in this case was stayed pending the outcome of a separate Supreme Court case on the same issue, Wolf [or Pekoske] v. Innovation Law Lab. As the Clearinghouse summary of that case explains, the new Biden administration altered the policy in question and has sought dismissal. This case remains pending until Innovation Law Lab is resolved in the Supreme Court.
