Ziglar v. Abbasi, No. 15-1358, 2017 WL 2621317 (U.S. June 19, 2017) - USSC refuses to extend Bivens to suits brought by 9/11 domestic detainee illegal aliens. The court lays out it objections to extending Bivens in any cases, and questions whether Bivens itself would be decided the same way today. An important case. This reverses in part and vacates in part Turkmen v. Hasty, No. 13-1002, 2015 WL 3756331 (2d Cir. June 17, 2015) - 2nd Circuit allows Bivens action by detainees against Attorney General. (orginal district court case - Turkmen v. Ashcroft, 2006.
PHS officers can be sued under Bivens - Castaneda v. United States, 546 F.3d 682 (9th Cir. 2008) - This is an excellent discussion of the interplay between FTCA actions for negligence and Bivens actions for intentional acts. A INS detainee with an obvious serious medical condition was denied care until he had untreatable cancer. He sued under Bivens, rather than the FTCA, and the Public Health Service argued that the FTCA was the sole remedy. The Court disagreed and allowed the Bivens claim.
