Basic Ordering Agreements are agreements between ICE and local sheriffs in which ICE promises to pay sheriffs $50 for every immigrant they hold and turn over to ICE, for up to 48 hours of detention. Sheriffs execute these holds by re-arresting someone they were legally required to release.
The Florida Sheriffs Association stated that Basic Ordering Agreements are an 鈥渆xisting procurement tool for acquiring a substantial, but presently unknown, quantity of supplies or services鈥� that allows both parties to negotiate 鈥減ricing, issuing, and delivering鈥� for all future orders. Just as it orders supplies, with BOAs ICE now orders immigrants. BOA counties supply and deliver them.
The BOA itself is not a contract. It is an understanding of how ICE and the counties will do business. Instead, each individual 鈥渙rder鈥� from ICE asking the county to unlawfully re-arrest a specific person is a contract.
