An ICE "immigration detainer" (commonly Form I‑247A) is a request from DHS/ICE asking a jail, prison or police agency to: (1) notify ICE before releasing a person ICE believes is removable and (2) hold that person up to 48 hours so ICE can assume custody. It is an administrative request—not a warrant or court order—and honoring it is governed by local policy; ICE policy requires probable cause before issuance and the holding agency must release the person if ICE does not take custody within 48 hours.
"Removal proceedings" are civil immigration court hearings (before EOIR immigration judges) in which DHS seeks a determination that a noncitizen is removable and, if so, an order of removal. They begin when DHS files a Notice to Appear. Criminal prosecution is separate: convictions in criminal court can create grounds for removal and often trigger ICE custody or detainers, but criminal courts do not replace immigration proceedings; immigration consequences are decided in removal proceedings.
The Diversity Visa (DV) program is an annual U.S. State Department lottery that issues immigrant visas to nationals of countries with historically low U.S. immigration. Applicants enter the lottery online; winners must then apply for a visa, meet education/work requirements, and pass consular processing. Vetting includes documentary review, security and criminal background checks, medical exam and a consular interview before a visa is issued.
In DHS usage, "criminal illegal alien" or similar phrases are operational descriptors for a noncitizen whom ICE assesses as removable and who is charged with or convicted of crimes; immigration status (lawful, unlawful, removable) is determined administratively by DHS (e.g., ICE/CBP/USCIS) and ultimately by an immigration judge or federal court if contested.
The VOICE (Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement) Office provides case assistance and information to victims of crimes committed by noncitizens, including referrals to local victim services, case status updates, and information about victim rights. Victims can contact VOICE by phone (the DHS release cites 1‑855‑488‑6423) or via the VOICE web page to request assistance.
Available public records likely include the Metro Nashville Police incident/initial report, booking and jail custody records for the arrest and extradition, and the county/state charging documents (criminal complaint/indictment) filed in Tennessee; these are typically held by the Metro Nashville Police Department, the Nashville/Davidson County Sheriff or the Tennessee state court clerk and can be obtained via their public records portals or by FOIA/state public-record requests. (Specific record links for this case were not found in available sources.)
