2012 marked a record number of deportations in U.S. history due to increased collaboration between local law enforcement and the federal government. This webinar will examine the legal authority and limits of immigration enforcement in the context of local law enforcement cooperation with ICE through immigration detainers (also called ICE holds) and ICE's Fugitive Operations Teams. It will provide practitioners with legal strategies to challenge these violations including tips on how to file and litigate a motion to suppress in immigration proceedings. It will also address other actions that practitioners may take outside of immigration court such as filing habeas corpus petitions. Finally, this webinar will provide litigation strategies to create leverage for obtaining a U Visa certification for "false imprisonment."
