What Is Krome Detention Center?

Krome Detention Center is a United States immigration detention facility located in Miami, Florida. It is overseen by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The center is used for the detention of immigrants who have been arrested for violating immigration laws and are awaiting removal proceedings from the United States. Some of these immigrants are subject to mandatory detention for a specific criminal conviction. Others may be detained because ICE believes they are a flight risk or a danger to the community. The facility can house up to 600 detainees. 

At Krome Detention Center, detainees are provided with medical care, meals, and recreational activities. Detainees may also access legal services provided by pro-bono organizations and can attend religious services. Detainees may also participate in educational programs, such as English as a second Language classes and educational seminars.

What Types of Cases Are Heard At Krome Detention Center? 

Krome Detention Center hears several types of immigration cases, included but not limited to those listed below:  

• Bond Hearings: Detainees may have a hearing to determine if they are eligible for release on bond while their case is pending. If an immigration judge decides that a detainee is neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community, the detainee may be eligible for a bond. Some detainees are not eligible for a bond and are subject to “mandatory detention.” These individuals will be held in Krome until their case is completed in court. 
• Removal Proceedings : Individuals who have been placed in removal proceedings may be held in Krome Detention Center while they wait for a hearing date. After a U.S. Immigration official files a document called a “Notice to Appear,” alleging the violations against the individual, the first hearing (“Master Calendar Hearing”) will be scheduled in front of an immigration judge. At the Master Calendar Hearing, the judge will determine whether the respondent is removeable based on the allegations in the Notice to Appear.  If the respondent is removeable, he or she will then be entitled to apply for immigration relief if eligible.  If the respondent is eligible for immigration relief, the case will be scheduled for a final hearing (“Individual Hearing”).  At the Individual Hearing, the court will determine the merits of the case and whether the respondent will be removed from the United States. 
• Appeals and motions to reopen : Detainees who have previously been denied relief or ordered removed by an immigration court may file appeals or motions to reopen their case.  Appeals are generally filed with the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”).  Motions to Reopen are generally filed with the Executive Office of Immigration Review (“EOIR”).  Appeals are generally designed to challenge an error of law that was made by the lower court while motions to reopen generally allege new evidence or facts that are now available that were not available at the earlier proceeding. Motions to reopen can also be filed to challenge removal orders that were issued “in absentia”, or without the Respondent being present.  This generally occurs if the Respondent missed a court date leading to the order of removal.
