ISAP

I get quite a few questions about the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (“ISAP”), particularly when the person is requested to wear an ankle GPS device. Here are my observations so far:

  • If you want to have the ankle device removed, you must file a formal request with an immigration judge right away, as in TODAY. Normally, you have only seven days to make such a request, so don’t delay.
  • Don’t bother trying to ask the ISAP official for any type of relief. ISAP officials are generally private contractors who have no discretion whatsoever. They do not have the authority to change the terms of your custody. Once you have been referred to ISAP, they can only follow their protocol, and not much else. Only ICE can modify the terms of your release and custody, or an immigration judge (within a very short time period).
  • ICE will sometimes take you out of ISAP without your having to do anything, but there is no guarantee that this would happen. Also, there’s no predicting when or why they would make this decision, so you should not count on it happening.  You may have to wear the GPS ankle device for years before ICE decides you don’t need to wear one anymore.

If you are reading this, the bottom line is that you SHOULD NOT WAIT A MINUTE LONGER to take action if you want to effectively deal with the issue of having to wear and ankle device. I can’t emphasize this enough.

    I Am being deported after 22 years, I entered the country when I was only 5yrs old. I think It’s unjust and unethical to be treated like a criminal with a ankle brace and supervision. My heart goes out to anyone going thru this. Good luck. Stay strong and keep fighting.
