Why this matter is tracked
In litigation concerning immigration-enforcement practices, the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota granted the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. During the proceedings, the court identified that the defendants' submissions contained inaccurate citations and quotations attributed to appellate decisions that did not appear in the cited sources. While the court's primary focus was the resolution of the injunctive relief regarding attorney access for detainees, the court noted these citation errors within the context of the defendants' filings. The court ultimately found that the plaintiffs demonstrated a likelihood of success on their Fifth Amendment claims regarding access to counsel and granted the requested preliminary injunction.
