Jean A. v. Noem
Case Overview
Lawfully present refugees sued the Department of Homeland Security over a new policy from the Trump administration that subjects individuals admitted to the U.S. as refugees under the INA to arrest and detention.
The Application
Lawfully admitted refugees, having completed the INA admission process, are protected persons with statutory status; a blanket detention policy targeting this group without individualized determinations or statutory authorization may exceed DHS's INA authority and violate due process rights.
The Conclusion
The case is active in the Western District of Wisconsin, testing whether the detention policy conflicts with refugees' INA-granted protections and constitutional due process guarantees.
