The Australian government has excised several islands from its migration zone since 2001 in order to deter unauthorized boat arrivals.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

WA TCH OUT FOR/IF ASKED
• Why is El Salvador not currently participating in the EPI with ERO?
1e-- The Consul General at the new Salvadorian Consulate in McAllen, TX has pledged to
participate in EPI; however, due to staffing shortages at the consulate in McAllen, TX, El
Salvador is currently unable to participate in EPI.
BACKGROUND
• In April 2013, ERO implemented the Guatemalan Pilot Initiative (GPI) within the San
Antonio area of responsibility (AOR). To support the commencement of GPI, ERO
expedited the installation of Video Teleconferencing (VTC) equipment at the Guatemalan
consulate in McAllen, TX and provided electronic Travel Document System (eTD) laptops,
printers and technical support for the eTD system. In addition, ERO provided travel funds
support to initiate the program. ERO also negotiated and facilitated with the Government of
Guatemala to reduce the notification period for the flight manifest from 48 hours to 24 hours
to expedite the removal and directly reduce the average length of stay (ALOS).
• In June 2013, ERO implemented the HPI within the San Antonio AOR. To support the
commencement of HPI, ERO provided the Honduran Consulate in McAllen, TX with eTD
laptops, printers and technical support for the eTD system. In addition, ERO provided travel
funds support to initiate the program. ERO also negotiated and facilitated with the
Government of Honduras to reduce the notification period for the flight manifest from 72
hours to 48 hours to expedite the removal and directly reduce the ALOS.
• In June 2014, ERO implemented the EPI within the San Antonio AOR. The local El
Salvadoran Consular Official agreed to interview aliens at the Port Isabel Detention Center.
ERO provided support for the El Salvadoran Consular Official to temporarily detail consular
staff to the Rio Grande Valley area to provide assistance with travel document interviews and
travel document issuance. FRO paid for lodging and meals, and provided office space at thc
Port Isabel Service Processing Center in Los Fresnos, Texas. In July 2014, the El Salvadoran
Consular Official detailed consular officials to the Laredo Detention Center (LDC) in
Laredo. Texas. to conduct travel document interviews and issue travel documents. The
decision to conduct EPI at LDC was made because LDC houses the largest population of
Salvadorans in ERO custody in the San Antonio AOR. The only support that ERO provided
for this phase was office space. In late August 2014, the Government of El Salvador opened
a new consulate in McAllen, Texas. To support the commencement of EPI, ERO expedited
the installation of VTC equipment at the Salvadoran consulate in McAllen, TX and provided
eTD laptops, printers and technical support for the eTD system. The El Salvadoran
Consulate is currently not participating in the EPI program. A new Consul General arrived in
early February 2015 at the El Salvadoran consulate in McAllen, Texas. ERO is currently
working with this new leadership to restart EPI.

El Salvador Project Initiative efforts
February 6,2014
BACKGROUND:
In November 2012 ICE jointly collaborated with the Government of Guatemala (GOG) to
establish a sub-consulate to the Consul General in Houston, located in McAllen, TX. ICE
provided support via office space leased through the City of McAllen and installed
Videoteleconferencing (VTC) capability at the site. This Guatemalan Pilot Initiative ((PI)
directly impacts ICE San Antonio Rio Grande Valley (RGV) operations and according to HQ-
Field Operations, travel documents requested through the GPI are typically received the same
day.
In early 2013 the Honduran Pilot Initiative (HPI) was commenced through joint collaboration
with the Embassy of Honduras in Washington DC and the Consul General in Houston, TX. The
Government of Ilonduras (G011) began the process of staffing a sub consulate to be collocated
with the Guatemalan sub consulate in McAllen, TX but in the immediate intcrim, the HPI is
being managed through the Consul General in Houston, TX. The travel document issuance
turnaround rate for the HPI is 1-2 days according to the San Antonio Field Office. The sub
consulate of I londuras in McAllen, TX is staffed as of January 24, 2014 and 11Q is coordinating
to provide VTC and any support needed.
In June 19, 2013 ICE initiated discussion with the Government of El Salvador (GOES)
demonstrating proven efficiencies gained through cooperative partnership with the GOG and
GOH in response to the surge of their nationals arrested in the RGV. ICE asked the GOES to
consider this option as a way to reduce TD processing times and was offered to collocate with
the GOG sub consulate in McAllen, TX but the proposal was refused. The GOES did request 2
additional VTC units to provide their limited staff at the I louston Consulate General more
capability of increasing thcir interviews of detained nationals. As of December 10, 2013 ICE
funded and installed two VTC units providing a total of 3 VTC units at the Houston Consul
General's office. While it appears that TD processing times have slightly improved, this has not
shown to have as significant impact commensurate to the CiP1/11PI.
On December 2,2013 DHS/OIA and ICE/ERO met with the GOES Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MFA) Vice Minister (VM) Garcia in San Salvador at which time ICE offered immediate
tem orary consular office space at the Port Isabel Detention Center and VTC capability. VM
agreed to continue exploring options to establish a sub consulate and requested a tour of
the RGV. This ICE hosted trip is tentativel scheduled for March 19 through 21, 2014 and to be
attended by the MFA. Embassy and Consul General staff

41. SNA Land migration Phase Triggers and Capabilities
Background
Joint Task Force West (ITF W) is developing a Land Migration Surge Plan for the JTF W Joint
Operational Area (JOA). In this plan, specific levels of activity are required to indicate changes
from steady state normal operations to increased apprehension and activity levels that would be
indicative of a surge.
To ensure an appropriate measurement of activity that impacts ERO program operations, specific
activity and operational levels need to be established.
South Texas Corridor — Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio Field Offices.
SNA AOR
SNA AOR Ground Transportation is undertaken through a contract with Trailboss Inc. Trailboss
will respond to all transportation requirements in the San Antonio AOR. There is no need to
modify the contract, just need to request service. The contract encompasses all of the OBP
Sectors within the San Antonio Field Office and may be called upon for "on demand routes" not
included; the charge for this service is (b)(4) (b)(7)(E)
1(b)(4) (b)(7)(E) I Transportation can be called on any time, 24
hours per day, and 7 days per week.
Additionally a contract with MVM Inc. has been established for UAC escorts originating from
the RGV via commercial airlines outside of the SNA AOR. The contract and daily operations are
managed by JFRMU.
SNA AOR currently has (b)(7 lAO aircraft positioned within the AOR to undertake removal
missions and air transfers to other ERO AORs for detention. SNA has in the past averaged 15 of
the 32 available removal flights weekly to respond to the removal of detainees.
Issues arising from an increase in fear claims from the detained population within the SNA AOR
are addressed with the Houston Asylum office. Houston CIS has detailed teams of Asylum
Officers to each facility within the SNA AOR to enhance support and reduce lag time of case
interviews and processing.
There are four defined phases of activity within the Migration Surge Plan, and indicator! trigger
activity levels for each one. The phases are defined as follow:
Phase I — Normal Operations
Respond to OBP RGV, LRD, DRT and OF0 within the SNA AOR as per normal
protocols. Detention space is available for operational needs. A defined percentage level of
Detention Space Capacity usage is not required to quantify this level. (Per LESA current
becispace level as of March 4, 2015 for SNA are 6,160.5 beds)
2016-1CF0 44468 41 of 47
42. • Leverage vacant ICE-ERO detention space within the AOR and in other
U.S. locations as necessary as part of normal operations
• Leverage aircraft to enhance removal capacit in SNA AOR within the
JTF-W South Texas Corridor as necessary rcraft assigned to SNA for
Removal and CONUS transfer missions)
• HPI and GPI within the RGV to ensure removal of aliens as efficiently as
possible
• FAMU facilities in South Texas Family Residential Center and Karnes
Residential Center (established late 2014 to address FAMU influx)
• Assist OBP and OR) within the SNA AOR as necessary
• Land transportation routes in effect for response to JTF-W Southwest

Phase 2— Initial Influx
Initiate Phase 2 response once Detention Space Capacity in the Field Office AOR is at
94% over a five day average while daily apprehensions remain at or above a higher daily average
than normal during this five day time frame, or as determined at the discretion of the FOD or
appropriate designee.
• Continue with Phase 1 Response
• Increasingly Leverage vacant ICE-ERO detention space in other U.S.
locations engaging ERO HQ for assistance
• Expand additional bedspace within the SNA AOR to stage FAMU/UAC/A
for removal foreign or transfer Conus
• Leverage additional aircraft to enhance removal capacity in SNA AOR
within the JTF-W South Texas Corridor as necessary
• Engage JTF-W components to provide assistance as necessary
Phase 3 — Major Influx

97% over a five day average while daily apprehensions remain at or above a higher daily average
than normal during this five day time frame, or as determined at the discretion of the FOD or
appropriate designee.
• Continue with Phase 2 Response
• Assign SNA ERO representative to manage coordination between
resources and assistance to all JTF-W Corridor components
