Exciting news! Our Detainer FAQ website is live!

Each year, we get calls from hundreds of immigrants. Over the past year, we noticed that many of the callers from outside of NYC were calling about a loved one in jail with an ICE detainer. Our efforts to end collusion between local and state governments and ICE in New York City and State put us at the top of their google searches.

This resource offers a basic orientation to help community members understand how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) use detainers. ICE Detainer FAQ provides concise and engaging information so that individuals can be informed about the processes used by ICE and be better prepared to navigate the challenges that may arise. Local organizations, such as public defenders and immigrant rights advocates, are best placed to help community members understand the nuances of local policies and assist individuals in creating an action plan. But by offering this resource, we can empower individuals to take action and advocate for their rights.
