Tigre v. Hassell et al

This case involves plaintiff Tigre suing defendants, including Hassell, who are local law enforcement or federal immigration officials in the United States. The lawsuit, filed on November 26, 2018, alleges that the plaintiff was unlawfully detained in a county jail at the request of ICE without proper due process, exceeding the legal authority for such holds. The plaintiff, who may be an immigrant or a U.S. citizen, contends the prolonged detention under an immigration detainer violated his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizure and deprivation of liberty without due process. The case challenges the constitutionality of local-federal cooperation on immigration enforcement.

The specific outcome or current status of this case is not detailed in the available knowledge base, but typical resolutions involve court orders limiting the use of detainers or settlements addressing civil rights claims.

Whether local law enforcement officials can legally detain an individual based solely on a federal civil immigration detainer from ICE, and whether doing so violates the detainee's constitutional rights under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

The case highlights the legal tensions between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities regarding detainers, impacting immigration policy discussions and civil liberties debates across the nation.
