Understanding ICE Detention
ICE detention occurs when individuals suspected of violating immigration laws are taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This can happen at ports of entry, during raids, or following interactions with law enforcement. Being detained by ICE can be a stressful and confusing experience, but having knowledgeable legal representation can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
Common Reasons for ICE Detention
Overstaying a Visa:
- Individuals who remain in the U.S. beyond the expiration date of their visa.
Criminal Convictions:
- Non-citizens with criminal convictions or charges may be detained by ICE.
Violation of Immigration Laws:
- Violations such as unauthorized entry or false documentation.
Pending Removal Orders:
- Individuals with outstanding deportation or removal orders.

- Represent you at bond hearings to request your release from ICE detention on bond. We will gather evidence and present a strong case to show that you are not a flight risk or a danger to the community.
Removal Defense:
- Provide robust defense in removal proceedings, seeking relief such as Cancellation of Removal, Asylum, Withholding of Removal, or Protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).
Post-Detention Relief:
- Assist in filing motions to reopen or reconsider removal orders and pursuing other forms of post-detention relief.
Family Support and Advocacy:
- Communicate with your family to provide updates and support, ensuring they are informed and involved throughout the process.

Deportation defense involves legal strategies and actions taken to prevent an individual from being removed from the United States. An experienced deportation defense attorney can provide critical assistance in understanding your rights, navigating complex immigration laws, representing you in court, and increasing your chances of achieving a favorable outcome, such as cancellation of removal or asylum.
Common grounds for deportation include violations of immigration laws (such as overstaying a visa), criminal convictions, fraudulent activities, security-related grounds, and violations of non-immigrant status. If you are facing deportation for any of these reasons, it is essential to seek legal assistance to explore possible defenses and relief options.
Cancellation of removal is a form of relief that allows certain non-citizens to avoid deportation and obtain lawful permanent residency. To apply, you must meet specific criteria, such as continuous physical presence in the U.S. for a certain number of years, good moral character, and demonstrating that your removal would cause exceptional hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member. An immigration attorney can help you determine your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
Asylum and withholding of removal are forms of protection for individuals who fear persecution in their home country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Asylum provides a pathway to lawful permanent residency and eventually citizenship, while withholding of removal only prevents deportation to a specific country and does not lead to permanent residency. An attorney can help you understand which option is best for your situation and assist with the application process.
In some cases, individuals facing deportation may be eligible to adjust their status to lawful permanent residency, thereby halting removal proceedings. Eligibility depends on factors such as having an approved family or employment-based petition and meeting specific criteria. Consulting with an experienced immigration attorney can help you determine if adjustment of status is a viable option for your case.
If your deportation case is denied, you have options such as filing an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or submitting a motion to reopen or reconsider your case based on new evidence or legal errors. It's crucial to act quickly, as there are strict deadlines for these actions. An experienced deportation defense attorney, like our team at Empirefly can assess your case, advise you on the best course of action, and represent you throughout the appeals process.
