COVID-19 Summary: Two immigrants detained pending removal proceedings obtained a temporary restraining order that required their immediate release to protect them from the risk of infection.


On March 26, 2020, two detained immigrants filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Represented by Public Counsel, the plaintiffs sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They alleged that their detention during the COVID-19 pandemic violated their Fifth Amendment right to safe conditions of confinement. Specifically, they alleged that detention during the COVID-19 outbreak (1) constituted a state-created danger; (2) violated the government’s Fifth Amendment duty to care for those in its custody; and (3) functioned as punitive detention. The plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief and a writ of habeas corpus.

The Department of Homeland Security originally detained the plaintiffs in early March pending removal proceedings. They were held in Adelanto, a for-profit detention facility run by Geo Group, Inc. with a history of health and safety violations. Around the same time, COVID-19 was spreading throughout the world. California declared a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, and the United States declared a national emergency on March 13. Coronavirus spreads easily between people in close contact, posing risks to detainees.

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, the plaintiffs immediately moved for a temporary restraining order providing for their release. Judge Terry J. Hatter, Jr. granted the motion on March 27, the day after the suit was filed. Judge Hatter declared that “[t]he law is clear—the Government cannot put a civil detainee into a dangerous situation.” As a result, a detainee’s Fifth Amendment rights are violated if “a condition of his confinement places him at substantial risk of suffering serious harm, such as the harm caused by a pandemic.” He also rejected the defendants’ arguments that the plaintiffs must first exhaust their administrative remedies and lacked standing. As part of the March 27 order, Judge Hatter directed the defendants to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be granted. 2020 WL 1502864.

On April 6, the plaintiffs filed an amended petition adding another individual plaintiff. On the same day, Judge Hatter ordered the amended petition to be stricken and declared that relief for additional petitioners would only be available in separate proceedings absent class certification.

Judge Hatter extended the temporary restraining order by 14 days on April 10 to allow more time for the court to consider whether to issue a preliminary injunction. On April 13, the court severed one of the two individual plaintiffs' claims so they could be resolved in a new case.

This case was stayed on April 24, 2020 due to developments in Roman v. Wolf, another COVID-19 case seeking the release of immigrants in detention. The Roman plaintiffs had obtained provisional class certification and a preliminary injunction, and the plaintiffs in this case fell within the Roman class and the scope of its preliminary injunction. As a result, Judge Hatter stayed this case pending Roman's conclusion.

The court released a scheduling order on June 1, 2020. The court found that the petitioners were entitled to an evidentiary hearing on their habeas corpus petition and decided to combine the evidentiary hearing with a court trial regarding the petitioners' claims for injunctive and declaratory relief. The hearing and trial were scheduled for October 6, 2020 but this date was subject to change due to the pandemic. The court found that it had the authority to entertain a class-wide motion for bail and, if granted, would then individually consider each member for bail.

As of February 26, 2021, the case is ongoing.

SCHEDULING ORDER by Judge Terry J. Hatter, Jr. The Court has considered the evidence and arguments presented in favor of and against Petitioners petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court will combine the evidentiary hearing on Petitioners petition for a writ of habeas corpus with a court trial on Petitioners claims for injunctive and declaratory relief. Each side will be allowed 8 hours to present their case. The time limit includes all aspects of the case, including opening statements, direct and cross examinations, arguments on objections, and closing arguments. In lieu of closing arguments, the parties may file closing briefs, of no more than 25 pages, no later than ten days afterthe conclusion of the evidentiary hearing and trial. The following dates are subject to change by the Court in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; at this time, it is unclear as to when the First Street Courthouse will re-open for evidentiary hearings and court trials for civil cases. Discovery cut-off 7/31/2020., Substantive Motion Filing Deadline by 8/10/2020., Motions in Limine Filing Deadline filed by 8/27/2020., Evidentiary Hearing and Court Trial set for 10/6/2020 at 10:00 a.m., Final Pretrial Conference set for 9/14/2020 at 10:00 a.m. While the Ninth Circuit has not yet reached the issue, it is clear to the Court that it has the inherent authority, at least in extraordinary cases, to release detainees on bail during the pendency of their habeas petitions. See order for further details. DOCKETED IN THIS CASE PER PAGE ATTACHMENT. (shb) (Entered: 06/01/2020)
