Transfers separate detained immigrants from the attorneys and evidence they need to defend against deportation, which can violate their right to fair treatment in court, slow asylum or deportation proceedings, and prolong the time immigrants spend in detention. With close to 400,000 immigrants in detention each year, space in US detention centers, especially near cities where immigrants, their families, and attorneys live, has not kept pace. As a result, ICE has built a system of detention, relying on subcontracts with state jails and prisons, that cannot operate without transfers. This report shows that between 1998 and 2010, 1 million immigrants were transferred 2 million times. 520 $a Forty-six percent of transferred detainees were moved two or more times: in one egregious case, a detainee was transferred 66 times. On average, each transferred detainee traveled 370 miles, with one frequent transfer pattern (from Pennsylvania to Texas) covering 1,642 miles. Such long-distance and repetitive transfers can render attorney client relationships unworkable, separate immigrants from evidence they need in court, and make family visits so costly they rarely, if ever, occur. An agency charged with enforcing US laws should not establish a system of detention that is literally inoperable without widespread, multiple, and long-distance transfers. ICE would reduce the chaos and limit harmful human rights abuses if it worked to emulate best practices on inmate transfers set by state and federal prison systems. 520 $a Transfers do not need to stop entirely in order for ICE to respect detainees' rights; they merely need to be curtailed through the establishment of enforceable guidelines, regulations, and reasonable legislative restraints" -- Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a ICE internal policy on transfers -- The impact of transfers on detainees' rights -- Number, gender, and nationality of transferred detainees -- Transfers over time -- Geographical distances covered -- Intra- and inter-Federal Circuit Court transfers -- Facility type -- Length of detention -- Deportation or termination of detention for transferred detainees. 610 20 $a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement $x Rules and practice. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Civil rights $z United States. 650 0 $a Prisoners $x Transportation $z United States. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Government policy $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008123053 650 0 $a Detention of persons $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009123263 650 0 $a Deportation $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102192 650 0 $a Immigration enforcement $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009126784 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008122526 700 1 $a Parker, Alison. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2001055329 856 41 $u http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/us0611webwcover.pdf 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230030706.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF21D382ED2F11E78644BA0B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
