ICE directs review on non-detained docket for redetention and removal

  1. Original Date Announced

    February 18, 2025

    ICE sent an email directive to Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers directing them to "carefully review for removal all cases reporting on the non-detained docket." Specifically, officers should consider whether:

    • noncitizens granted withholding from removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture should be redetained and removed to a third country; and
    • noncitizens previously released because there was no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future (SLRRF) should now be redetained and processed for removal to a previously recalcitrant country or to a third country. Upon arrest, the noncitizen should be provided written notification of the reasons for detention and should be informally interviewed promptly ("ideally, within two days") so that they may ask questions and tell the officer anything they want in support of why they should be released.
