In Gonzalez v. ICE, immigrant rights groups challenged ICE's practice of issuing detainers without a neutral review of whether they are based on probable cause. A final five-year settlement went into effect on March 4, 2025 that prevents ICE from issuing detainers that are not based on prior removal orders or pending proceedings. The settlement impacts detainers that ICE sends to 42 states and territories. Come learn about what the case involved and in particular, how you can identify detainers in your community that may be illegal under this settlement, and what you can do.
