Legal Research: Authority of U.S. Immigration Officers to Arrest Asylum Seekers Based on INTERPOL Red Notices Issued by Third Countries
This research examines the legal boundaries governing U.S. immigration officers’ authority to detain or arrest individuals with asylum status based solely on INTERPOL Red Notices requested by foreign nations (other than the United States). The analysis focuses on statutory limitations, due process concerns, and potential violations of protections afforded to asylum seekers under U.S. and international law.
Case Study Included:
The research incorporates a documented real case where U.S. immigration officers arrested an asylum seeker pursuant to an INTERPOL Red Notice issued by a third country. The incident is analyzed using:
Official evidence (arrest records, charging documents, and correspondence) demonstrating procedural discrepancies;
Legal contradictions between the officers’ actions and U.S. safeguards for asylum seekers;
Outcome analysis highlighting jurisdictional overreach or misuse of INTERPOL mechanisms.
