L.V.M. v. Lloyd

Facts

The lawsuit was initiated by L.V.M., a 17-year-old from El Salvador, who was detained by ICE and placed in a secure facility before being transferred to a staff-secure facility. The ORR's director review policy, instituted by Scott Lloyd, required personal approval for the release of UAC from certain facilities, leading to significant delays in the release process. Plaintiffs argued that this policy caused unjustifiable delays and violated their rights under the APA, TVPRA, and the Due Process Clause.
