Immigration detainee challenges mandatory detention as potential class member
Jul 22, 2026 · Reno, NV
Abigail Martinez-Aguiana, an immigration detainee, filed a counseled Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus challenging the lawfulness of her ongoing detention at Washoe County Jail in ICE custody. She asserts she is a member of the certified class in Jacobo-Ramirez v. Noem and may be entitled to relief pursuant to the court's grant of partial summary judgment to class members. The court issued an order preserving jurisdiction by prohibiting respondents from removing the petitioner from the District of Nevada absent leave of court. The court ordered federal respondents to produce specific immigration documents by July 27, 2026, and to file a notice indicating whether they contend the petitioner is a class member and identifying the statutory provision authorizing detention. The court preliminarily found that the petitioner may be entitled to habeas relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Jacobo-Ramirez v. Mullin decision.
