Attention BID

You are going on vacation abroad. You anticipate the fun and excitement as you review your list of activities and schedules. You imagine the picturesque landscape and the good food in the country of your destination. You queue in for travel tax without complaining.

You are now on your last check-in counter at the immigration, excited to board the plane. You are so happy conversing with your friends when suddenly, the immigration officer holds you because your name is on the immigration hit list. You are told there is a court-issued hold-departure order (HDO) against you and you wonder why or how in the world you got that because you are sure you have no pending case in court, not even at the prosecutor’s office.
