Pineros Y Campesinos Unidos Del Noreste v. Noem
Case Overview
Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, a labor union sued the Department of Homeland Security over the change in immigration enforcement that allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement to conduct immigration enforcement inside of sensitive locations, including houses of worship, religious gatherings, and schools.
The Application
The union contends that the ICE enforcement policy change allowing operations in protected spaces violates constitutional safeguards by chilling religious practice, freedom of assembly, and the safe provision of education. The government's interest in immigration enforcement must be balanced against these fundamental rights and whether less restrictive alternatives exist.
The Conclusion
Case remains active in the District of Oregon; judicial review is pending on whether the enforcement policy change complies with constitutional and administrative law requirements.
