Napolitano et al, 11-cv-05452 (N.D. Ill) where a federal court ruled against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for unlawfully detaining immigrants and U.S. citizens identified through local law enforcement agencies for violating the due process rights of immigrants subject to the local detainers.
