In Arizona, attorneys for the Florence Project have heard ICE litigation and ERO officials state that they have a flat policy not to transport an ICE detainee to criminal court for a criminal case even if the state court issues a writ of habeas corpus ad prosecandem. In their experience, however, DHS does seek administrative closure and transports the person to criminal court when they want the client prosecuted. Thanks to Thalassa Kingsnorth, Eloy Staff Attorney
