Ms. L v. ICE Settlement
If you are a minor, legal guardian, or parent who came to the U.S.-Mexico border, was detained by the U.S. government together with your parent, legal guardian, or child, and then was separated by the U.S. government and held in different facilities, you may be affected by a class action settlement.
A settlement (“Settlement”) has been finalized in a class action lawsuit titled Ms. L v. ICE, 18-cv-00428-DMS-AHG (S.D. Cal.). This lawsuit concerns families who were apprehended by the U.S. government together, but then separated and kept apart. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California has approved the Settlement on December 11, 2023.
