See Dkt. 1. The parties previously submitted a Joint Case Management Statement on 1 On January 21, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security suspended new enrollments in the 2 MPP pending further review of the program. On February 11, 2021, DHS announced a plan to process 3 into the United States certain individuals who had been returned to Mexico under MPP and have 4 pending cases before the Executive Office for Immigration Review. On June 1, 2021, the Secretary of 5 Homeland Security made a determination that MPP be terminated. On August 13, 2021, U.S. District 6 Court Judge Kacsmaryk issued a nationwide injunction for the reinstatement of MPP. See Texas v. 7 Biden, No. 2:21-CV-067-Z, 2021 WL 3603341 (N.D. Tex. Aug. 13, 2021). On December 13, 2021, the 8 U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the district court’s order. See Texas v. Biden, 20 F.4th 9 928 (5th Cir. 2021). On June 30, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States reversed the Fifth 10 Circuit’s decision and remanded the case for further proceedings, holding that the present 11 administration’s rescission of the MPP constituted a valid final agency action. Biden v. Texas, 142 S. 12 Ct. 2528 (2022). In light of this decision, the parties understand that the MPP will not be implemented 13 going forward. 14 The parties have agreed that, in light of the decision in Biden v. Texas, the only remaining issue 15 to be resolved is Plaintiffs’ request for documents containing daily situational reports from Defendant 16 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). CBP has agreed to provide these documents subject to 17 appropriate FOIA redactions. Once the documents are provided to Plaintiffs, the parties will meet and 18 confer regarding any objections to these redactions and propose a briefing schedule for any objections 19 that cannot be resolved through the meet and confer process. Plaintiffs will not seek attorney’s fees or 20 costs. 21 At this point, the parties do not require judicial intervention. The parties previous Joint Case 22 Management Statement (Dkt. 43) remains accurate. Accordingly, the parties request that the CMC 23 scheduled for October 5, 2022, be vacated and continued until December 7, 2022 or as soon thereafter as 24 the Court is available. 25 SO STIPULATED. 26 * * * 27 1 Respectfully submitted, 2 STEPHANIE M.
