Case Details

After fleeing Guatemala to escape the people who murdered his brother, L-J-P-L- sought asylum in the United States. He was released from immigration custody in early 2024 and has since fully complied with all legal requirements while pursuing his asylum claim. Despite this, in August 2025, he was suddenly arrested and detained without notice or explanation. This case challenges the government’s arbitrary and unlawful detention of L-J-P-L-, seeking a writ of habeas corpus to protect his due process rights and prevent his transfer out of the district.
