18
In this motion for reconsideration, Plaintiffs1 ask the Court to reinstate their Fourth
19
Amendment claims in light of Gonzalez v. U.S. Immigr. & Customs Enf’t, 975 F.3d 788
20
(9th Cir. 2020), and Dep’t of Homeland Sec. v. Regents of Univ. of Cal., 140 S. Ct. 1891
21
(2020). The Court is asked to decide whether the two cases constitute an intervening
22
change in controlling law that requires altering the Court’s prior rulings. In the prior
23
rulings, the Court found that: (1) 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9) bars jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’
24
Fourth Amendment claim challenging continued detention beyond 48 hours without a
25
determination of probable cause by a neutral decisionmaker (ECF No. 56 at 11–13) and (2)
26
8 U.S.C. § 1252(g) bars jurisdiction over Plaintiff Gonzalez’s Fourth Amendment claim

The parties use the terms “Plaintiff-Petitioners” and “Defendant-Respondents.” For ease, the
Court uses the terms “Plaintiffs” and “Defendants.”

because he was initially placed into mandatory detention as a result of an expedited
2
removal proceeding (ECF No. 49 at 14–15). Because neither Gonzalez nor Regents is
3
irreconcilable with, or creates a significant shift away from, this Court’s reasoning behind
4
the dismissal of Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amendment claims, the Court denies Plaintiffs’ motion
5
for reconsideration.

I.
RELEVANT BACKGROUND2
8
Plaintiffs filed the putative class action complaint and habeas petition (the
9
“Complaint”), alleging that Defendants have a “policy and practice of detaining individuals
10
for extended periods without promptly presenting them for an initial hearing before an
11
immigration judge or promptly seeking judicial review of probable cause for detention.”
12
(Compl. ¶¶ 1, 4–6.) Each Plaintiff was taken into custody by various immigration
13
enforcement agencies and detained pursuant to Defendants’ alleged policy. (Id. ¶¶ 47–49.)
14
Plaintiffs alleged that “many individuals” who have claims to relief from removal
15
“routinely languish in detention for two months or longer before they see a judge” because
16
of Defendants’ alleged policy. (Id. ¶ 1.)
17
The Complaint challenged Defendants’ conduct as violating (1) detained
18
individuals’ Fifth Amendment procedural and substantive due process rights by causing
19
detention without prompt presentment, (2) their Fourth Amendment rights to a prompt
20
judicial determination of whether probable cause justifies their detention, and (3) the
21
Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. §§ 706(1), 706(2)(A)–(D). (Id. ¶¶ 38–
22
44, 75–80 (Fifth Amendment); id. ¶¶ 81–84 (Fourth Amendment); id. ¶¶ 85–90 (APA).)
23
Plaintiffs requested declaratory relief, an injunction, and the issuance of a writ of habeas
24
“commanding the release of Plaintiff-Petitioners and class members from detention” to the
25
extent their right to prompt presentment and probable cause determination was violated.

The Court’s earlier Orders discuss in detail the factual allegations and history of this case. (ECF
No. 49 at 3:6–11:2; ECF No. 63 at 3:7–10:3.)

Case 3:17-cv-00491-BAS-AHG Document 178 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.4459 Page 3 of 12
1
(Id. at 23.) Defendants moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1)
2
and for failure to state a claim pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6). (ECF No. 28.)
3
On February 8, 2018, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of
4
jurisdiction. (ECF No. 49.) The Court determined that it lacks jurisdiction over Gonzalez’s
5
Fourth Amendment probable cause claim pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g) because he was
6
initially placed into mandatory detention as a result of expedited removal proceedings. (Id.
7
at 15.) The Court further determined that 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(a)(5) and 1252(b)(9) deprive
8
it of jurisdiction over Cancino’s and Hernandez’s Fourth Amendment claims and all
9
Plaintiffs’ Fifth Amendment claims because those claims arise from removal proceedings.
10
(Id. at 22–27.) The Court concluded that the statutory provisions require Plaintiffs to raise
11
these claims in in a petition for review (“PFR”). (Id.) Lastly, the Court determined that
12
Plaintiffs’ request for habeas relief did not prevent the channeling of their claims. (Id. at
13
33–41.) The Court dismissed the Complaint, but granted Plaintiffs’ leave to amend “to
14
assert claims over which th[e] Court may properly exercise jurisdiction.” (Id. at 42.)
15
On February 27, 2018, the Supreme Court decided Jennings v. Rodriguez, 138 S. Ct.
16
830 (2018). Plaintiffs moved for reconsideration of the Order’s Section 1252(b)(9)
17
conclusions. (ECF No. 50.) The Court applied Jennings by asking whether the legal
18
questions raised by Plaintiffs’ claims arose from the removal proceedings within the scope
19
of Section 1252(b)(9). (ECF No. 56 at 9:5–8 (citing Jennings, at 841 n.3)). As to Plaintiffs’
20
Fourth Amendment claims, the Court identified the following legal question: whether, after
21
48 hours of arrest and before an initial master calendar hearing, a detainee should be
22
provided an independent probable cause determination of the detainee’s removability. (Id.
23
at 11:21–22.) Because the probable cause determination requested by Plaintiffs would not
24
concern any purely custodial matters such as flight risk but only scrutinize the individual’s
25
removability, the Court concluded that Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amendment claims raised legal
26
questions that arose from an action taken or proceeding brought to remove an alien and are
27
thus barred under Section 1252(b)(9). (Id. at 12:5–10, n.7.)

1
As to the Fifth Amendment claims, the Court found that Plaintiffs raised the
2
following legal question: whether the government violates the Fifth Amendment by
3
detaining individuals without promptly presenting them before a judge. (ECF No. 56 at
4
13:19–22.) Because the resolution of that question would require examining only the
5
“separate conduct” of immigration officials that causes a delay of the process by which the
6
removability is determined and not the detainee’s removability itself, the Court concluded
7
that the Fifth Amendment claims were outside the scope of Section 1252(b)(9).
8
Accordingly, the Court reinstated Plaintiffs’ Fifth Amendment claims but not the Fourth
9
Amendment claims.
10
Defendants renewed the motion to dismiss the Complaint. (ECF No. 60.) The Court
11
granted the motion in part and denied it in part. (ECF No. 63.) The Court dismissed
12
Plaintiff Gonzalez’s procedural due process claim and all Plaintiffs’ Section 706(1) APA
13
claims but declined to dismiss other Plaintiffs’ procedural due process claims and all
14
Plaintiffs’ substantive due process claims. (Id.)
15
On June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court decided Dep’t of Homeland Sec. v. Regents of
16
the Univ. of California, 140 S. Ct. 1891 (2020), and on September 11, 2020, the Ninth
17
Circuit decided Gonzalez v. U.S. Immigr. & Customs Enf’t, 975 F.3d 788 (9th Cir. 2020).
18
Plaintiffs move for reconsideration of the Court’s prior rulings dismissing Plaintiffs’
19
Fourth Amendment claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (ECF No. 177.) The
20
Court held an oral argument. (ECF No. 177.) The motion for reconsideration is ripe for
21
decision.

ANALYSIS
7
A.
8
Section 1252(b)(9) provides, in relevant part:
9
Judicial review of all questions of law and fact, including interpretation and
application of constitutional and statutory provisions, arising from any action
taken or proceeding brought to remove an alien from the United States under
this subchapter shall be available only in judicial review of a final order under
this section.
10
11
12
13
Section 1252(b)(9)
8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9).
14
The question is whether Gonzalez constitutes an intervening change in controlling
15
law that provides a valid reason for the Court to reverse its prior conclusion that Section
16
1252(b)(9) bars jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amendment claims. The Court finds
17
that it does not.

1.
The Ninth Circuit’s Ruling in Gonzalez
20
Gonzalez was an action challenging Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s
21
use of immigration detainers, brought by a class representative who was a United States
22
citizen booked on state law criminal charges by the Los Angeles Police Department.
23
Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 797. An ICE agent erroneously determined that the plaintiff was
24
removeable and issued an immigration detainer against him, requesting up to five more
25
days in jail after when the plaintiff could be released from the county’s custody on state
26
criminal charges, so that ICE could take him into custody. Id. While the detainer remained
27
pending, the plaintiff sued the government to challenge the legality of the detainer. Id.
28
-517cv491
Case 3:17-cv-00491-BAS-AHG Document 178 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.4462 Page 6 of 12
1
As relevant to present purposes, the plaintiff argued that the government violated the
2
Fourth Amendment “(1) because a detainer is an unlawful seizure without probable cause
3
or lawful authority, and (2) the Government fails to provide a prompt probable cause
4
determination by a neutral and detached magistrate.” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 800. For each
5
of those claims, the district court certified two separate classes: (1) the “Probable Cause
6
Subclass” and (2) the “Judicial Determination Class.” Id. at 801. The Probable Cause
7
Subclass raised the following claims: whether (1) “the Government violates the Fourth
8
Amendment by issuing immigration detainers to state and local [law enforcement agencies]
9
in states that do not authorize such . . . enforce[ment of] civil immigration law (the State
10
Authority Claim)” and (2) “whether the databases that ICE uses to issue immigration
11
detainers from the Central District are unreliable sources of information for probable cause
12
determinations (the Database Claim).” Id. The Judicial Determination Class raised a claim
13
pursuant to Gerstein v. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103 (1975) (the Gerstein claim). See id.
14
The district court sua sponte granted summary judgment on the Judicial
15
Determination Class’s Gerstein claim in favor of the government, holding that Gerstein
16
did not extend to the civil immigration context. Only the Probable Cause Subclass
17
proceeded to bench trial. The court amended the definition of the Probable Cause Subclass
18
as follows:
19
20
21
22
all current and future persons who are subject to an immigration detainer
issued by an ICE agent located in the Central District [ ], where the detainer
is not based upon a final order of removal signed by an immigration judge or
the individual is not subject to ongoing removal proceedings and the detainer
was issued solely on the basis of electronic database checks.
23
Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 801. Upon the conclusion of the trial, the district court held as to
24
the State Authority Claim that “ICE ‘violate[d] the Fourth Amendment by issuing detainers
25
to state and local law enforcement agencies in states that do not expressly authorize civil
26
immigration arrests in state statute.’” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 801 (citing district court
27
opinion).
As to the Database Claim, the court held that ICE violated the Fourth

Case 3:17-cv-00491-BAS-AHG Document 178 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.4463 Page 7 of 12
1
Amendment by relying on unreliable databases to make probable cause determinations. Id.
2
The court entered relevant permanent injunctions. Id. at 801–02.
3
The Government appealed the injunctions, arguing in part that the named class
4
representative was “atypical of unnamed noncitizen class members over whose claims the
5
district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9).” Id. at
6
802, 810. Judge Milan Smith, writing for the panel majority, held that Section 1252(b)(9)
7
did not bar jurisdiction over the claims of noncitizen class members. Judge Smith cites two
8
reasons for his conclusion. First, the class members did not “ask[] for review of an order
9
of removal, the decision to seek removal, or the process by which removability will be
10
determined.” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 810 (cleaned up) (quoting Regents, 140 S. Ct. at 1907
11
and citing E. Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Trump, 950 F.3d 1242, 1269 (9th Cir. 2020)).
12
The panel majority noted “[t]he Probable Cause Subclass is defined to exclude individuals
13
against whom there is a final order of removal as well as any individual subject to ongoing
14
removal proceedings” and that “immigration detainer is not an administrative warrant for
15
the arrest of an individual on civil immigration charges.” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 810.
16
Second, the panel majority held that “claims challenging the legality of detention pursuant
17
to an immigration detainer are independent of the removal process.” Id. In reaching this
18
conclusion, Judge Smith relied on the First Circuit’s interpretation of Section 1252(b)(9)’s
19
“arising from” language as “exclud[ing] claims that are independent of, or wholly collateral
20
to, the removal process.” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 810 (citing Aguilar v. ICE, 510 F.3d 1, 11
21
(1st Cir. 2007) and Hernández v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 42, 42–43 (1st Cir. 2005)).
22
Separately, on cross appeal, the panel majority reversed the district court’s ruling
23
that the Gerstein rule applied only to criminal detentions and not civil immigration
24
detentions. Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 824. The panel majority remanded for the district court
25
to reinstate the Gerstein claim but clarified that its ruling was limited to detentions made
26
without an administrative warrant. Id. at 826 n.27 (declining the plaintiffs’ request to hold
27
that Gerstein is also invoked by the government’s new policy requiring the issuance of an
28

1
administrative warrant alongside any immigration detainer because “the district court never
2
considered that issue” and the Ninth circuit is “a court of review and not first view”).
3

2.
Whether Gonzalez Constitutes a Change in Controlling Law
5
Plaintiffs argue Gonzalez constitutes an intervening change in controlling law that
6
requires reversing this Court’s prior application of Section 1252(b)(9) to Plaintiffs’ Fourth
7
Amendment claims.
8
reasoning or theory of a case “is clearly irreconcilable with the reasoning or theory of
9
intervening higher authority,” Miller v. Gammie, 335 F.3d 889, 893 (9th Cir. 2003), or
10
where “a subsequent decision ‘creates a significant shift in [a court’s] analysis,’” Teamsters
11
Loc. 617 Pension & Welfare Funds v. Apollo Grp., Inc., 282 F.R.D. 216, 222 (D. Ariz.
12
2012) (quoting Beckstrand v. Elec. Arts Grp. Long Term Disability Ins. Plan, 2007 WL
13
177907, at *2 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 19, 2007)). For example, where a new circuit decision adopts
14
and applies otherwise persuasive authority that lower courts previously refused to follow,
15
the new circuit decision is considered an intervening change in controlling law. See
16
Teamsters Loc. 617, 282 F.R.D. at 223 (citing Sequoia Forestkeeper v. U.S. Forest Serv.,
17
2011 WL 902120 (E.D. Cal. March 15, 2011)).
An intervening change in controlling law is found where the
18
Here, Gonzalez is not clearly irreconcilable with this Court’s application of Section
19
1252(b)(9), nor does it create a significant shift that requires this Court to change its
20
analysis. The Gonzalez court merely followed the holding in Jennings that Section
21
1252(b)(9) applies to challenges against “an order of removal,” “the decision to detain [the
22
plaintiffs] in the first place or to seek removal,” or “any part of the process by which their
23
removability will be determined.” See Jennings, 138 S. Ct. at 841. Because the subclass
24
in Gonzalez was “defined to exclude individuals against whom there is a final order of
25
removal as well as any individual subject to ongoing removal proceedings,” the panel
26
majority concluded that the class did not even “challeng[e] any removal proceedings.” See
27
Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 810 (citing Dep’t of Homeland Sec. v. Regents of the Univ. of
28
California, 140 S. Ct. 1891, 1907 (2020)).

Case 3:17-cv-00491-BAS-AHG Document 178 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.4465 Page 9 of 12
1
The legal questions involved in Gonzalez were different from those raised by
2
Plaintiffs in this action. In Gonzalez, at issue was the legality of ICE’s issuance of
3
immigration detainers to state and local law enforcement agencies in jurisdictions where
4
those agencies were not allowed to enforce civil immigration law (the State Authority
5
Claim) and the legality of ICE’s use of “unreliable sources of information for probable
6
cause determinations (the Database Claim).” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 801. Neither the State
7
Authority Claim nor the Database Claim involved the legal question raised by Plaintiffs in
8
this action: whether the Fourth Amendment requires a determination of probable cause
9
supporting the removability of a detained individual.
10
The Gonzalez panel’s remand on the Judicial Determination Class’s Gerstein claim
11
does not require reversing this Court’s Section 1252(b)(9) conclusion. Plaintiffs point to
12
no part of the case record in Gonzalez that discusses Section 1252(b)(9)’s applicability to
13
the Gerstein claim, and the Court’s own review shows the issue was not before the Ninth
14
Circuit.
15
More importantly, Plaintiffs’ Gerstein is substantially different from the Gonzalez
16
plaintiffs’ Gerstein claim. The Judicial Determination Class in Gonzalez was composed of
17
individuals held pursuant to an immigration detainer, “where the detainer is not based upon
18
a final order of removal signed by an immigration judge or the individual is not subject
19
to ongoing removal proceedings.” Gonzalez, 975 F.3d at 801 n.7 (emphasis added).
20
There, “[t]rial evidence . . . indicated that ICE does not take into custody up to 80% of the
21
individuals for whom [the government] issues immigration detainers.” Gonzalez, at 800.
22
Because no removal proceedings were initiated against the class members, by definition of
23
the class and by practice, there simply was no claim to channel and consolidate for final
24
review as directed by Section 1252(b)(9). The same cannot be said as to the present case,
25
where the proposed class includes individuals subject to ongoing removal proceedings.
26
(See Mot. Class Cert., ECF No. 125.) Unlike in Gonzalez, in which the Gerstein claim that
27
was divorced from the removal proceedings due to the plain fact that the class definition
28
excluded individuals facing ongoing removal proceedings, here, the Gerstein claim is not
-917cv491
Case 3:17-cv-00491-BAS-AHG Document 178 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.4466 Page 10 of 12
1
so divorced from the removal proceedings. Therefore, the Gonzalez panel’s remand of the
2
Gerstein claim does not alter this Court’s conclusion that the neutral probable cause review
3
would function as a review of removability, which, under Section 1252(b)(9), must be
4
consolidated with judicial review of a final order of removal.
5
Accordingly, the Court does not find that Gonzalez constitutes an intervening change
6
in controlling authority. Plaintiffs have not otherwise shown that the Court has committed
7
clear error or made a decision that is manifestly unjust. Therefore, the Court affirms its
8
earlier ruling that Section 1252(b)(9) bars Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amendment claims.
9
10
B.
11
Section 1252(g) provides that “no court shall have jurisdiction to hear any cause or
12
claim by or on behalf of any alien arising from the decision or action by the Attorney
13
General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders against any
14
alien under this chapter.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g). The Ninth Circuit has interpreted Section
15
1252(g) as barring a Bivens claim for false arrest where the detention directly followed
16
from the decision to commence proceedings. See Sissoko v. Rocha, 509 F.3d 947 (9th Cir.
17
2007) (“Sissoko III”). As this Court previously summarized, in Sissoko III,
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
Section 1252(g)
[In Sissoko III,] [t]he plaintiff, a native and citizen of Senegal, was taken into
custody as an “arriving alien.” He indicated that he had a fear of persecution
if he was returned to Senegal and thus was placed into statutorily-mandated
detention under 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1) pending a final determination of a
credible fear of persecution. Because no expedited order of removal was
issued against him, Sissoko could have pursued a habeas remedy under 8
U.S.C. § 1252(e)(2), which in part applies to aliens in expedited removal
proceedings. Under these circumstances, the Ninth Circuit found that the
Bivens damages action was barred by Section 1252(g) because Sissoko’s
detention directly resulted from the decision to commence proceedings
against him and an “alternative remedy directly addressing the claim injury”
was available.
26
27
(ECF No. 49 at 14:22–15:9 (omitting citations).) Relying on Sissoko III, the Court
28
previously ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Plaintiff Gonzalez’s Fourth
- 10 17cv491
Case 3:17-cv-00491-BAS-AHG Document 178 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.4467 Page 11 of 12
1
Amendment probable cause claim under Section 1252(g) because, much like the plaintiff
2
in Sissoko III, Gonzalez was detained as a result of being placed in expedited removal
3
proceedings and had an alternative remedy to challenge the prolonged detention. (ECF
4
No. 49 at 15.)
5
Plaintiffs argue the Supreme Court’s Regents decision constitutes an intervening
6
change in controlling law that requires a reversal of this Court’s Section 1252(g)
7
conclusion. According to Plaintiffs, the Supreme Court clarified in Regents that Section
8
1252(g) “deprives courts of jurisdiction over a narrow set of claims involving challenges
9
to three discretionary decisions by DHS.” (Pls.’ Mem. P&A ISO Mot. for Reconsideration,
10
ECF No. 137-1 at 8:14–17.) However, the proposition that Section 1252(g) should be
11
applied narrowly to bar only claims that “aris[e] from the decision or action by the Attorney
12
General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders” is not a
13
new interpretation of Section 1252(g). The Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit has so
14
interpreted the provision for a long time. See Reno v. Am.-Arab Anti-Discrimination
15
Comm., 525 U.S. 471, 482 (1999); Wong v. United States, 373 F.3d 952, 963–64 (9th Cir.
16
2004); see also Barahona–Gomez v. Reno, 236 F.3d 1115, 1120–21 (9th Cir. 2001)
17
(holding that Section 1252(g) does not bar judicial review of decisions or actions that . . .
18
are separate from the “decision to adjudicate”). This Court considered those precedents
19
and concluded that Plaintiff Gonzalez’s Fourth Amendment claim falls under the narrow
20
scope of jurisdictional bar under Section 1252(g) because his claim arose “from the
21
decision to commence expedited removal proceedings.” (ECF No. 49 at 15 (citing Sissoko
22
III, 509 F.3d at 949).)
23
Plaintiffs do not argue, and the Court does not find, that Regents created a significant
24
shift in the law, much less made Sissoko III clearly irreconcilable with the Regents decision.
25
The Court finds no reason to alter its application of Sissoko III to Plaintiff Gonzalez’s
26
Fourth Amendment claim.
27
28
Therefore, the Court denies Plaintiffs’ request to reverse the dismissal of Plaintiff
Gonzalez’s Fourth Amendment claim under Section 1252(g).
