ABA Commission on Immigration: Practice Advisory: Access to Individuals in Immigration Detention for Group and Pre-Representation Consultations

The Trump administration is employing immigrant detention as an enforcement tool.  To assist attorneys representing detainees, the  ABA Commission on Immigration has released Practice Advisory: Access to Individuals in Immigration Detention for Group and Pre-Representation Consultation.  The Commision describes the Practice Advisory as follows:

“The Trump Administration’s recent changes to immigration detention policy have prompted concerns and queries from practitioners and advocates trying to access potential clients and unrepresented individuals held in detention facilities. This Practice Advisory offers practitioners the tools to navigate meeting or speaking with individuals held in a variety of immigration detention settings. It orients practitioners on how to access non-clients and how to advocate for access where obstacles arise.”
