What to do if I am detained?

Removal cases usually begin after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains a noncitizen of the United States. Some individuals are eligible to be released from custody on bond while awaiting their court date. An experienced immigration attorney can help you request an immigration bond and avoid lengthy and unnecessary detention. It is critical to contact an immigration attorney as quickly as possible if ICE detains you or a loved one.

 

Even if you are undocumented and entered the country illegally, you may qualify for removal relief depending on the facts of your case. It is important to discuss your case with an experienced immigration lawyer before giving any statements to ICE or signing any paperwork.
