Our legal team pursued a two-pronged approach. First, we immediately challenged the negative credible fear determination before the Immigration Judge and had it overturned.

Released Within Days — Family Reunited, Asylum Case Continues
Our client entered the United States four years ago, applied for asylum, obtained Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and followed the law. When the administration stripped his TPS protections, required him to report to ICE, and then detained him, our New Jersey immigration lawyers filed a habeas corpus petition and secured his release within days.
We filed a swift habeas corpus petition in federal court challenging the lawfulness of his detention, arguing that his arrest triggered solely by an executive policy change and not by any wrongdoing on his part lacked a valid legal basis.

Learn how our immigration attorneys used a federal habeas corpus petition to secure a bond and reunite a long-term resident with his U.S. citizen family.
When a long-term resident who entered the United States as a minor was detained during a routine vehicle stop on his way to work, he faced the sudden threat of being permanently separated from the only home he had ever known. Despite having no criminal history and a consistent record of paying taxes, the government held him for nearly two months without providing a hearing, eventually transferring him to the ERO East Montana Camp in Texas to further distance him from his support system.
Recognizing the violation of his due process rights, our legal team formulated a strategy centered on filing a habeas corpus petition in Federal Court to challenge his prolonged detention without a hearing. Through persistent litigation, we successfully secured his release on bond despite the logistical hurdles of his out-of-state transfer.
This hard-won victory allowed our client to return home and reunite with his United States citizen spouse, child, and stepchildren, ensuring that a family remained whole while he continues his legal journey.
Our law firm successfully brought a habeas corpus challenge to secure the release of a father of three held by immigration authorities without bail.
For a father of three United States citizen children and a resident of the country since 1999, a simple commute to work turned into a month-long legal battle when he was detained by immigration authorities. The primary challenge in this case was the government’s aggressive attempt to hold him indefinitely without the possibility of bail, even though he had no criminal record and deep ties to his community.
Our firm responded by bringing a habeas corpus challenge to the federal court, arguing that his detention was unjustified and contrary to legal standards. Our strategy proved successful, as we were able to secure his release on bond and bring him back to his wife and children.
Today, he is back at home where he belongs, working alongside our team to fight for his ultimate goal of becoming a lawful permanent resident through established immigration channels.
See how our legal team fought an unlawful ICE transfer to Texas, successfully returning a father to New Jersey and securing his release.
The detention of a father of a two-year-old United States citizen during a traffic stop presented an urgent crisis, particularly when ICE attempted to move him away from his family and legal counsel in New Jersey.
To prevent this, we immediately filed a habeas corpus petition and obtained a Federal Judge’s order specifically prohibiting his transfer out of the state. In a blatant disregard for this judicial mandate, ICE transferred our client to a detention facility in Texas, forcing us to pivot our strategy toward enforcing the court’s authority and protecting our client’s access to counsel.
We successfully compelled the government to return him to New Jersey, where we then secured his full release before the New Year. This outcome not only vindicated the rule of law but also ensured that a young child was not forced to grow up without their father’s presence due to administrative overreach.
Our firm secured the release and green card for a husband and father detained by ICE during his USCIS residency interview.
In one of the most heartbreaking scenarios a family can face, a law-abiding husband and father was detained by ICE during his actual green card interview at a USCIS office, leaving his wife waiting in the lobby while he was taken into custody. Despite having no criminal record and having filed all necessary paperwork for his residency, he was separated from his family and missed his child’s first Christmas and New Year.
Our strategy focused on a dual-track approach: filing a habeas corpus petition in federal court to secure his release on bond and simultaneously pushing for the immediate scheduling of his final residency hearing. By demonstrating his eligibility and the injustice of his detention, we were able to secure his release and, shortly thereafter, successfully obtain his Lawful Permanent Residency.
He is now a green card holder, providing his family with the permanent security and peace of mind they deserve.
