Thank you for taking the time to complete these questions!

I am working on a project with the ABA to stop INS from transferring represented detainees. I need your help to document the INS practice of transferring represented detainees. Please provide the following information to me so that I can document the regular and systematic transfer of represented detainees.

     - Tammy Fox-Isicoff


1. The name of the detainee transferred:

 

2. The facility where the detainee was transferred from and the facility where he or she was transferred to:

 

3. How far was this transfer?

 

4. Were you able to continue representing the detainee?

 

5. Was a notice of appearance filed at the time of the transfer? If so, was this notice filed with EOIR and INS?

 

6. If a notice of appearance was filed, were you provided advance notice of the transfer?

 

7. What relief was the alien eligible for?

 

8. Was an application for relief submitted to INS or the Court before the transfer?

 

9. At what stage in proceedings did the transfer occur?

 

10. Was the transfer for the purpose of retaliation, if so please explain?

 

11. Was the transfer for the purpose of defeating Federal Court action; e.g. Habeas? If so, please explain.
