Hi,if you have one of those cases pending please print that court decision and keep it with you all the time as protection specially these days Case Summary: ICWC v. Kristi Case No: 2:25-cv-09848-AB-AS Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court for the Central District of California Case Overview Judge: Assigned to U.S. District Judge André Birotte Jr. and referred to Magistrate Judge Alka Sagar. Plaintiffs: A coalition of advocacy organizations—including the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, Public Counsel, La Raza Centro Legal, CHIRLA, ICWC, and CCIJ—representing immigrant survivors of violence. Defendants: Top federal officials, including the Secretary of Homeland Security (Kristi Noem), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Core Claims: The lawsuit alleges that new 2025 ICE enforcement policies violate the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and the U.S. Constitution by exposing vulnerable individuals to routine arrest, detention, and removal while their humanitarian applications are pending. Key Rulings & Status Nationwide Preliminary Injunction: On May 20, 2026, Judge Birotte certified three nationwide classes of immigrant survivors and issued a preliminary injunction staying the 2025 ICE policies. Impact on Survivors: The injunction temporarily restores long-standing 'victim-centered' protections. It blocks ICE from detaining or removing individuals with pending VAWA, U visa, or T visa petitions, and prohibits the government from summarily revoking deferred action without due process. The order also required the government to return certain unlawfully deported plaintiffs back to the U.S. Stay Denied: On July 27, 2026, the district court denied the government's ex parte application to pause the injunction while the case is being appealed. Current Status: The preliminary protections remain active nationwide, though the broader litigation is ongoing and actively being appealed by the federal government.
