Facts

In the Spring of 2017, ICE executed 'Operation Matador' targeting undocumented immigrants with alleged gang affiliations, resulting in the arrest of several minors, including A.H., who had previously been placed with sponsors after entering the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. A.H. was arrested based on allegations of gang involvement and transferred to a high-security facility in California without a prompt hearing to contest the basis for his detention. The lawsuit was filed to challenge the legality of his detention and seek injunctive relief.

Analysis

The court applied the rule by determining that the government had violated the minor's due process rights by failing to provide a prompt hearing to contest the allegations of gang involvement that justified his rearrest. The court emphasized that the minor had previously been assessed and determined not to be a danger or flight risk, and thus should have been afforded the same protections as other noncitizens.

Conclusion

The court granted the preliminary injunction, ordering the government to provide a hearing before an immigration judge for the minor and to restore him to the custody of his sponsor if the evidence did not support the need for detention.
