Mendez Rojas v. Wolf, No. 2:16-cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.)
This notice is being given by order of the Court to individuals who are members of a class or sub-class of individuals who, among other criteria and within specified timeframes, were encountered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within 14 days of entering the United States, expressed a fear of persecution or torture, and were either found to have a credible fear of persecution or torture by DHS and issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) or were issued an NTA without a credible fear determination. This notice is to inform you of a proposed settlement and a fairness hearing as part of a nationwide class action lawsuit called Mendez Rojas, et al., v. Wolf, et al., No. 2:16-cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.). The proposed settlement seeks to resolve class claims that the U.S. Government did not provide sufficient notice that asylum seekers generally must file their asylum applications within one year of arrival in the United States and that the Government did not provide class members with an adequate mechanism to comply with that deadline (the one-year filing deadline).
