The following excerpt is from Ching Ming Tao v. I.N.S., 855 F.2d 860 (9th Cir. 1987):

3 A district court in California, in a class action involving Salvadoran refugees, has found that "INS routinely fails to make legal services lists available to aliens at its detention centers, including aliens who have been transferred to detention facilities from distant locations and who have only received lists specific to the locations where they were apprehended." Hernandez-Orantes v. Meese, supra, at p 72.
