Civil Immigration Detainee Visitation Training 2/19 & 2/26
“Conversation with Friends” - Be a visitor!
Support detained immigrants by being an ‘in-person’ visitor (you are in the same room as the detainees).
Civil Immigrant Detainees are held at the jail for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pending the outcome of hearings in immigration court. Those held include long time residents, green card holders, asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, and others. Some are held for days, some for months. Some do not have anyone who visits them.
