There Is Apparently An Agreed (Albeit Partial) Settlement, In The Ms. L Class Action Case -- Out Of San Diego...


The proposed overnight agreement (seven pages) is here. I expect the able Judge Sabraw will enter it.

Even so, I'll just say (for now) that the Flores case (in LA) will continue -- as an ongoing check against renewed lawlessness, on ICE's part. I will also note that this does not end the ACLU's efforts on the likely coming TRO in the new hearings in DC (in the Carmen case), on "credible fear" standards -- now unlawfully being used by ICE. It also doesn't alleviate the need for a special master. Here's a bit:

. . . .In accordance with the Court’s orders and directions, the parties met and conferred, both on the issues directed by the Court and additional issues raised in these and related cases. Those conferrals included counsel for the plaintiffs in M.M.M., counsel for the plaintiffs in Ms. L, counsel for the plaintiffs in Dora v. Sessions, No. 18-1938 (D.D.C.), and counsel for the Defendants in each of those cases. The parties’ efforts have produced the attached agreement, which reflects their agreed resolution of the issues identified by the Court as well as other matters. . . .


Do go read it all. And here is the related settlement motion. But it is -- to be sure -- a good start. Onward, with renewed hope.
