In what marks a significant development for the world of global corporate law and international relations, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued new, agency-wide guidelines. These guidelines, specifically, pertain to how its employees will tackle scenarios involving the existence of Red Notices and Diffusions.
As many legal professionals may know, Interpol issues Red Notices to notify its member countries about an individual wanted by a law enforcement agency. A Diffusion, on the other hand, is similar but usually more informal and permits immediate arrest or provisional arrest.
While the full details of the changes remain under wraps, the move signals a potential shift in ICE’s approach and could have implications for firms and entities dealing with these notifications. The specifics of the changes in guidelines may also have considerable impacts on how both notifications are treated within the broad legal landscape.
