This case was recently filed and is being litigated — the claims below are allegations, not proven facts, and there is no settlement, claim form, or payout yet. Watch the case (right) and we'll email you when it moves, including if it settles and a claim process opens.
What happened
This is a proposed class action against Kristi Noem and other federal officials. The case involves review of agency action under the Administrative Procedure Act, and plaintiffs have moved for class certification. The parties have been engaged in settlement discussions; the allegations have not been proven.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
Common questions
- Can I file a claim in the Doe v. Noem Immigration Class Action case?
- No. This case has been filed and is still being litigated — there is no settlement, no claim form, and no payout. Many class actions are dismissed or never certified, so a case being filed does not mean anyone will be paid. If it settles and a claim process opens, that will be announced by a court-appointed settlement administrator.
- Where is the Doe v. Noem Immigration Class Action case being heard?
- The case is before the District Court, D. New Jersey, case number 2:25-cv-02998. Everything alleged in the complaint is an allegation, not a proven fact.
