Deportation Removal

My loved one or friend is Arrested and being held for Criminal reasons. Criminal Arrests have no relation to Immigration, right?

Under section 287(g), an individual arrested for criminal reasons will now have their immigration status checked by ICE. If they are not US citizens or if they are green card holders who have multiple convictions or are arrested for committing a serious deportable offense, then they will be interviewed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They may have an immigration hold placed on them and will then need to request bond from ICE or from an Immigration Judge.

Please read our detailed article on Section 287(g) Part one and Part two for more information on how the law enforcement officers now work together with ICE to enforce immigration laws.

Please be aware that merely paying the criminal bond will NOT allow your loved one to be released from custody if ICE has placed an immigration hold on your loved one.

My loved one or friend is arrested; they have paid their criminal bond but now have an immigration hold and have no immigration bond set. I need information on how to get them released from immigration detention?

Our Jacksonville Immigration Law Office routinely handles and files Motions for Redetermination of Bond, which will allow the Immigration Judge to grant bond to your loved one. This will allow your loved one to be released from immigration detention.

In order for the Motion for Redetermination of Bond to be successful, your loved one will need to have an official document to verify his or her identity, such as a birth certificate issued by his country of birth or a passport, for example. The Immigration Judge will need to verify the detainee’s identity before that detainee can be released from jail.

We are also successful at requesting and obtaining bond for detainees from the local office through ICE, so long as the detainee's relatives or friends contact our office before that individual is transferred to a "permanent" location.

To locate your loved one, please refer to the online search tool for how to find a detainee.
