ICE Detention, Immigration Holds and Bonds Before the Immigration Judge

THE MOST CHALLENGING CASES FOR AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY ARE DEFENDING CLIENTS IN IMMIGRATION COURT OR OBTAINING RELEASE FROM DETENTION

Clients call many immigration attorneys asking difficult questions such as: “How can I get my husband out of ICE custody?” “He has an ICE hold and the jail won’t let me post bond for his DUI – what do I do?” “ICE took my wife away and I don’t know where she is and they won’t let me talk to her – can you help me?” “We went to our adjustment of status interview and they took her away because they said she had a deportation” ” We got a denial notice for our application and they sent us a notice to appear in immigration court!”

When your loved one is being detained by ICE at a detention center it is usually extremely frightening and harmful to your family
