What is OSUP?


Were you detained? Were you released on bond or put on order of supervision, or how we call it, OSUP? Then that means you are required to report to ICE on a specific date that is listed on your paperwork. I highly recommend that you take an attorney with you when you report to ICE. It is very, very critical that when that reporting is done, it is done properly and with the right defense set up for you.

When that parole is there, when that reporting is there, what it means is that ICE has given you an opportunity to figure out what your immigration situation is to stay and consult or do what you need to do as long as you meet the conditions of not being arrested, not getting in trouble, properly reporting, not leaving the state or the city that you have been assigned, and following every single rule that is listed on your paperwork.

It is highly, highly important that you are properly represented when you go in for a check in. ICE always has the power to revoke that OSUP permission and put you in custody.
