Habeas Corpus Petitions for Immigration Detention

If your loved one has been detained for an extended period of time, we can file a federal habeas corpus petition to challenge unlawful or prolonged detention and request release or a new bond hearing.

What is a Habeas Corpus Petition?

A habeas corpus petition is a federal court filing used to challenge unlawful or prolonged immigration detention. In many cases, it asks the court to order release or require the government to provide a new bond hearing.

Families often seek habeas relief when a detained loved one has been held for months (or longer) without a fair opportunity for meaningful review.

When a Habeas Petition May Help

Every case is different, but habeas petitions are often considered when detention has become unreasonably long or when due process concerns arise.

  • Detention has lasted an extended period of time
  • Bond was denied or no bond hearing was provided
  • The person has strong equities supporting release
  • There have been delays outside the person’s control
  • There are serious humanitarian or medical concerns

How We Help

We act with urgency and care. Our goal is to create a clear and well-supported federal filing that tells the court what is happening and why continued detention is unlawful.

We review: detention timeline, court posture, bond history, and key filings.
We prepare: evidence packets, declarations, and supporting documents.
We file: a federal habeas petition requesting relief (release or a new bond hearing).
We communicate: clearly with families so you know the next step at all times.

What We Need From You

If your loved one is detained, having the right information helps us evaluate the case quickly.

  • Full name and A-Number (if available)
  • Detention facility and location
  • How long they have been detained
  • Next immigration court date (if any)
  • Any bond paperwork or immigration judge decisions
  • Basic family contact info and urgent concerns

Important: Habeas petitions are highly fact-specific and not appropriate for every case. This page is for general information only and is not legal advice. We can review your situation and explain options clearly.
