The Supreme Court has stated that


the “clear and convincing”
standard lies between a
preponderance of the evidence
and proof beyond a reasonable
doubt. [See, Addington v. Texas,

PRINCIPLE LEVELS OF
ENCOUNTER
In order to properly enforce the elements of INA § 287(a) (stop,
detain, arrest) it is important for the officer to know the different
ways of encountering an individual. There are 3 principle levels of
encounter that officers face with the public at places other than at the
border:
z Consensual encounter
z Investigative stops
z Arrests
Officers should always identify themselves as law enforcement

ICE Academy Master PowerPoint Presentation


Spring 2008
ICE.090410.000077
FIRST LEVEL OF ENCOUNTER
Consensual Encounter
Î Individual is free to walk away
from and decline to speak to
the Officer
Î Questions can be asked as
long as the officer does not
physically or constructively
impede the person’s freedom
of movement
Î Address questions to promote
cooperation

ICE Academy Master PowerPoint Presentation


Spring 2008
ICE.090410.000078
SECOND LEVEL OF ENCOUNTER

Investigative Stops
‹ Occurs when person is “seized” or
“stopped” – and reasonable person
would believe that he was not free to
leave
‹ Must have “reasonable suspicion”
based on “articulable facts” that
person is engaged in (or attempting)
a criminal or administrative offense
‹ Length of the stop should be limited

ICE Academy Master PowerPoint Presentation


Spring 2008
ICE.090410.000079
THIRD LEVEL OF ENCOUNTER

Arrest
Î Under same facts, a reasonable person
would believe he is in custody
Î Probable cause is required
Î Warrantless okay with consent or
exigent circumstances
Î Simultaneous Arrests of
criminal/admin or regulatory
violations or offenses
Î Criminal arrest priority/no misuse of
admin

ICE.090410.000080
4th Amendment Terms Defined

Seizure
Î When an officer uses physical force, or a
show of authority, which causes a person
to submit to that force or authority.
Detention
Î Brief, temporary stop as part of an
investigation for the purpose of limited
inquiry into possible criminal activity or an
administrative violation of the INA.
Arrest
Î Officially taking a person into custody to
have him answer to criminal or
administrative charges.
Î ICE Academy Master PowerPoint Presentation
Spring 2008
ICE.090410.000081
4th Amendment Degrees of Proof
Mere Suspicion
Î Lowest degree of proof; can be equated to
a hunch or gut feeling. Not enough to
justify a detention or arrest. Try
consensual encounter?
Reasonable Suspicion
Î Specific articulable facts that cause
suspicion by reasonable and rational
inference that an event has, is, or will
occur.
Probable Cause
Î Information that a reasonable person
would deduce that an offense [criminal or
administrative] has been or is being
committed, and a specific person either
committed or is committing the offense.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Î 8 USC 1324(c) says that the Attorney General has the authority to designate
which immigration officers may make arrests for a violation of 8 USC
1324(a) - Bringing In and Harboring Certain Aliens (alien smuggling).
Pursuant to 8 CFR § 287.5(c)(5) Immigration Enforcement Agents (IEAs) may
not at the present time make arrests for violations of 8 USC 1324(a). This
restriction is the result of a policy decision made when the IEA position was
established. INA § 287(a)(4) authority cannot be used by an IEA to justify an
arrest for a violation of 8 USC 1324(a). A related restriction of authority is
found in 8 CFR § 287.5(e)(3) where the Attorney General has given IEAs the
authority to serve warrants of arrest for administrative immigration
violations only, and not immigration related criminal arrest warrants.
