MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTAL COMPLAINT  
AND TO LIFT STAY OF PROCEEDINGS, 3:19-cv-04073 
 
TO RESPONDENTS AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: 
 
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Plaintiffs East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, Al Otro Lado, 
Innovation Law Lab, and Central American Resource Center of Los Angeles hereby move the Court 
for leave to file an amended and supplemental complaint and to lift the stay of proceedings.  
Plaintiffs seek to update their complaint to encompass the final version of the transit asylum ban 
rule, which the Trump administration issued on December 17, 2020, and which goes into effect 
January 19, 2021.  The proposed First Amended and Supplemental Complaint (1) challenges the 
final transit ban rule on the same grounds asserted against the interim rule in the original complaint 
and (2) amends the claims to challenge the final rule as invalid because Department of Homeland 
Security Acting Secretary officials were not validly serving when the final rule was issued.  A copy 
of Plaintiffs’ proposed First Amended and Supplemental Complaint is attached to this motion as 
Exhibit A.  A redline version that identifies the proposed additions and alterations is attached as 
Exhibit B.   
Plaintiffs intend to move for preliminary relief against the final rule within the next few days.  
Should the Court wish to hear argument on this motion, Plaintiffs request that the hearing be 
combined with Plaintiffs’ forthcoming motion for preliminary relief.   
This motion is brought pursuant Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15, and is based on the 
accompanying Memorandum in Support and materials cited therein; the attached proposed 
complaint; the pleadings and evidence on file in this matter; and such other materials and argument 
as may be presented in connection with the hearing on the motion.
