For example, is the original going to the detainee, being scanned and emailed back to the legal representatives, and whether it should it be shredded after it is scanned back to the legal representative or returned to the detainee.

The email address is utilized for scheduling, coordinating, and communicating with attorneys for various requests and is not intended for communication with the Immigration Court or ICE Detention Officers in any manner.
