![Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 15) is GRANTED, as follows:
a.
Border Patrol is enjoined from conducting detentive stops in this District unless,
pre-stop, the detaining agent has reasonable suspicion that the person to be stopped is a
noncitizen who is present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law, as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. b.
Border Patrol is enjoined from effecting warrantless arrests in this District unless, pre-arrest, the arresting agent has probable cause to believe that the noncitizen being arrested is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, as required by 8
U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2).
C.
Any Border Patrol agent who conducts a detentive stop in this District SHALL,
as soon as practicable, document the facts and circumstances surrounding the stop in a
86
narrative form. This documentation SHALL include the specific, particularized facts that supported the agent's reasonable suspicion, which was formed in advance of the stop, that: (i) for vehicle stops, the vehicle contained a noncitizen present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law; and ii) for stops on foot, the person
stopped was a noncitizen within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law.
The documentation SHALL include the date and time that the agent completed the
detentive stop and the date and time the agent completed the documentation.
d.
Any Border Patrol agent who conducts a warrantless arrest in this District
SHALL comply with all requirements set forth in DHS's "Broadcast Statement of Policy" on compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2), including but not limited to the requirement that as soon as practicable after an arrest, agents SHALL document in writing "the facts and circumstances surrounding the warrantless arrest" and the
"specific, particularized facts supporting the conclusion that the [individual] was likely to escape before a warrant could be obtained."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:izvd7uyrycpxo5c3zu2mwlrj/bafkreieye455x626bz3ucj6w4urvdhcijykfvxtdyeujcv3jksu5dh2f5m)
