Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 18, No. 2, April 2, 2004

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced that it will expand a detention pilot project that the agency first experimented with in Hartford, Connecticut. The expanded pilot project will be conducted in the agency’s Denver and Atlanta districts. Under the pilot project, the agency will detain immigrants who are denied relief in proceedings and receive removal orders at their hearings, even if they reserve appeal.
