SF-1187 is used to document authority to seize vehicles used for what purpose?

• A. Detention space for juveniles
• B. Alien smuggling
• C. Admissibility
• D. Payroll deductions

Answer: (B)

SF-1187 is the form used to document the authority to seize vehicles that have been used to transport or facilitate the smuggling of illegal aliens. In border enforcement, a vehicle that served as part of an alien-smuggling operation is subject to seizure under the applicable laws, and this form records the official basis for that action, helping ensure the seizure is legally supported and the vehicle’s chain of custody is preserved for any forfeiture or administrative proceedings. The other options don’t fit because detention space for juveniles, admissibility decisions, and payroll deductions pertain to unrelated areas and processes.
