Pashman Stein Walder Hayden filed an amicus brief in a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit case on behalf of a Catholic nonprofit organization in support of the validity of a New Jersey law prohibiting state and local entities and private correctional facilities from entering into agreements with federal immigration authorities to detain noncitizens.

An opinion was issued in the suit, CoreCivic v. Governor of New Jersey, last August by Judge Robert Kirsch in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Kirsch sided with CoreCivic, a national operator of detention facilities, and held that a New Jersey law preventing the company from contracting with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was unconstitutional as applied. That decision was appealed to the Third Circuit.
