The most typical route starts when the non-citizen—this could be an undocumented person, a person with a valid or expired temporary visa or a green gard holder—is already in federal or local law enforcement custody. For instance, the non-citizen was just recently arrested on criminal charges and taken to the county jail, or maybe he or she was already convicted and was serving a sentence. ICE regularly visits jails and interviews inmates to see if they are deportable aliens. The non-citizen may not know he or she is even talking to an ICE officer when they are interviewed!
You may have heard that your loved one had an “ICE hold” placed on him or her when they were in state or federal prison.
