Which form is an Immigration Detainer?

  1. I-210

  2. I-220A

  3. I-247

  4. I-385

The correct answer is: I-247

The Immigration Detainer is a formal request issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to law enforcement agencies to hold an individual in custody for a specific period of time beyond their release date. This allows ICE to take custody of the individual for immigration enforcement purposes. The correct option identifies the I-247 form, which is specifically used to notify law enforcement that the individual in custody is subject to immigration enforcement. The I-247 serves as a mechanism for communicating a request for detention based on immigration status and future proceedings. In contrast, the other forms listed relate to different processes or purposes within immigration and law enforcement but do not specifically function as immigration detainers. Understanding this distinction is important for accurately recognizing the role of each form in immigration enforcement.
