[Term] Detainer [Description] 
ICE issues a detainer to police or jailers in order to request they not release an immigrant for two business days while it determines whether to transfer the person into federal custody. Police who misunderstand the purpose of a detainer often fail to release an immigrant after the request expires, and some judges wrongly believe a detainer indicates bond should be denied to an immigrant facing a pending criminal case.
