ICE Passport and Identity Document Lawsuit

Multi-plaintiff action for unlawful retention of passports and identity documents.

Time-sensitive multi-plaintiff lawsuit intake

Did ICE take your passport or identity documents and refuse to return them?

We are screening a multi-plaintiff federal lawsuit for people whose passports, national IDs, or other essential identity documents were taken by ICE or immigration authorities and not returned. Missing documents can trap people without travel, identification, work access, benefits, or family stability.

Identity records

Need your passport or identity documents back?

Do not let the problem drag on while the practical damage gets worse. We can evaluate whether your facts fit the group lawsuit or an individual federal action.
