Attorney background and court admissionsHow we help
A federal challenge to immigration detention
Habeas corpus addresses the legality of custody; it is not a substitute for defending the underlying immigration case. The available arguments depend on the detention authority, the length of custody, prior proceedings, and the law governing the court where the petition is filed.
- Review the detention history and legal basis for custody.
- Assess jurisdiction, applicable law, and available federal remedies.
- Prepare the petition and supporting record when a challenge is appropriate.
A petition does not automatically stop removal or guarantee release. Any request for a stay or other relief requires a separate legal assessment.
