W.D. Wash. · January 23, 2019

Court W.D. Wash.
Decided January 23, 2019
Docket C18-1441RSL (earlier C18-1441-RSL-MAT)
Citation 409 F. Supp. 3d 998; 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 200381; 2019 WL 5790904
Judge Theiler, United States Magistrate Judge
Disposition Other
Nationality Kenya as charged and admitted; Kenya's consulate general determined he is not a Kenyan citizen
Third country Somalia

The magistrate judge recommended relief and set out four procedural requirements DHS must satisfy before removing a person to an undesignated country.

Caution This is a report and recommendation, not a decision of the court, and it was adopted only in part: the district judge adopted the Background section and subsections A, B, C and F, and did not adopt subsection D, which contains the four-step procedure, or subsection E. The report's statement that DHS has failed to notify other noncitizens before removing them to undesignated countries, and its description of the facts as 'alarming to say the least', are the magistrate judge's characterisations in an unadopted portion.
