USCIS launces a hotline and modifies detainer form for imprisoned immigrants
Posted by Harsharn Makkar
Last Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched a hotline for people held in local jails to answer questions whether those individuals may face deportation proceedings. This move is in response to a Justice Department report which outlined allegations of racial profiling and discrimination against Latinos.
The toll free hot line — 855-448-6903 — will be staffed 24 hours a day and run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The modified detainer form clearly states that law enforcement cannot hold more than 24 hours.
