US EditionLawsuit challenges arrests of people showing up to ICE check-ins in San Diego
The lawsuit claims dozens of immigrants face detention without due process after routine ICE check-ins, despite prior vetting and release, according to UCLA School of Law.
- On Tuesday, UCLA School of Law's Center for Immigration Law and Policy and the Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law filed a federal suit in the Southern District of California challenging October detentions of Chancely Fanfan and two others amid accelerated ICE check-in arrests.
- Following court reopenings last week, the Department of Homeland Security sent letters instructing immigrants to report for ICE check-ins, according to the petition.
- After showing up with his wife and 11-month-old baby to an Oct. 20 hearing and ICE check-in, Fanfan was arrested without a stated reason, and the petition says the three petitioners had no criminal contact since prior DHS releases.
- Plaintiffs are asking the federal judge to certify a class extending relief to others arrested, with UCLA's Center estimating San Diego detentions likely exceed 100.
- The lawsuit argues petitioners previously vetted and released were deprived of due process, with some detained after entering through or between U.S. ports of entry, while Lorenzo spoke only with his first name.
