DHS Implements "Operation Predator"

7/11/03 AILA Doc. No. 03071146. Crimes, Detention & Bond, Removal & Relief

AILA has been made aware of a Department of Homeland Security memorandum which outlines a "national initiative" to protect children from "sexual predators."  The memo states that in cases where the alien has been convicted of a criminal offense against children, the file should be "flagged" with a cover sheet and the trial attorney should oppose bond.
