Upon receiving the transmittal, ICE agents in ICEs Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) and/or the relevant ICE Field Office may send the arresting law enforcement agency a Form I-247, known as an immigration detainer, immigration hold, or ICE hold, requesting that the person be held in custody for immigration purposes after his or her criminal custody ends.

Complaint at 3, 15, Morales v. Chadbourne, No. 12-CV-301 (D.R.I. filed Apr. 24, 2012). In 2007, ICE placed a hold on Conway Wiltshire, a naturalized U.S. citizen, and subsequently held him for three months in immigration custody. Complaint at 3-5, Wiltshire v. United States, No. 09-4745 (E.D. Pa. filed Oct. 16, 2009).

The only federal, state, or local LEA within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Field Office known to have a policy to limit its compliance with immigration holds is the Los Angeles Police Department, which complies with all immigration holds except those involving individuals who have no prior felony convictions, are not documented gang members, and have no open criminal charges aside from certain misdemeanor charges with bails of $4,999 or less and certain Vehicle Code violation charges with bail of $2,499 or less.
