Lawsuits against ICE?

Is there any way to determine how many lawsuits have been filed against ICE? And if so, what the status of said lawsuits may be? I feel like the number has to be pretty huge, and if it's not, it should be.

There is an electronic database of all federal cases filed (and state, too, I think). It has a subscription fee. Lawyers in litigation practice use this service routinely.

Inundate this Administration with an overwhelming number of lawsuits against ICE and every other illegal or unconstitutional thing that they are trying to get away with.

So many lawsuits - that they don't have the time; the people or the money to keep up with and handle.

Keep them busy having to deal with all sorts of legal matters.

I would go on to say that all lawyers that value our Constitution and Democracy - should volunteer to do 'pro bono' work to issues these lawsuits that would inundate them. I see this as one way to fight back. Sure they will be busy and won't be making any money - but they would be patriots that would provide a way of pressuring this administration and perhaps ultimately crack them and get them to back off.
