The 8 United States Code §1226(c) states mandatory detention for certain illegal immigrants placed in deportation proceedings with terrorist activities or criminal convictions:

“(c) Detention of criminal aliens:

(1)Custody: The Attorney General shall take into custody any alien who—

(A) is inadmissible by reason of having committed any offense

(B) is deportable by reason of having committed any offense

(C) is deportable on the basis of an offense for which the alien has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment of at least 1 year, or

(D) is inadmissible under section 1182(a)(3)(B) of this title or deportable under section 1227(a)(4)(B) of this title,

When the alien is released, without regard to whether the alien is released on parole, supervised release, or probation, and without regard to whether the alien may be arrested or imprisoned again for the same offense.”

An illegal immigrant who gets arrested for an offense may have to face consequences such as fines and incarceration when it comes to the criminal case as well as an immigration case leading to deportation. Once the illegal immigrant gets detained, the law enforcement agency that carried out the arrest is going to report the arrest to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

The common series of events that occur when an immigrant gets arrested are as follows:

 

  1. The illegal immigrant is detained in the jail of the county, parish or city where they got charged with the criminal conviction.

 

  1. The jail reports the illegal immigrant to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE will direct the D.A and the jail that they want the charges to be dropped. The D.A. generally drops the charges.

 

  1. ICE officers visit the jail and take the immigrant in the jail into federal custody.

 

  1. The immigrant is placed in a federal detention center.

 

  1. The illegal immigrant is then transported to the immigration court by ICE.
