Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Maximum time limit in detention: The upper duration an individual can be detained by immigration authorities, considering workload and case type.
  • Reasonable maximum time limit: A duration deemed acceptable based on practical considerations such as space, funding, and workload, and often influenced by legal standards or guidelines.
  • Detention duration dependency on type of action: The length of detention varies depending on whether the action is deportation or another immigration process.
  • Time relation between arrest and deportation: The period between arrest and deportation is typically shortest at the beginning and may extend over time, but prolonged detention beyond a certain point can be viewed as excessive.
