What is an ICE detainer? What will happen next?
ICE detainer is a request from the agency to local law enforcement authorities to notify these people that they are in the country illegally, and ICE will take over their detention after they face justice for their removal. ICE is notified before these criminals are released. After ICE takes custody, people may be placed in immigration detention and face deportation proceedings.
