When the voluntary obstruction of the foreign national referred to in article L. 733-6 prevents him or her from being taken to the consular authorities, the administrative authority may, after duly noting this obstruction, ask the liberties and detention judge to authorise it to request the police or gendarmerie units to visit the foreign national’s home. The purpose of this visit is to ensure that the foreign national is present, to take him or her to the consular authorities and, if the conditions are met, to notify him or her of the decision to place him or her in detention.
For the application of the first paragraph, the liberty and custody judge shall ensure that the foreign national is voluntarily obstructing the request to be presented to the consular authorities. This obstruction results from the foreign national’s failure, without a legitimate reason, to appear before the consular authorities in order to prepare for the enforcement of the removal order. In this case, the procedure set out in articles L. 733-9 to L. 733-12 will apply.
