Being detained by immigration authorities is frightening and disorienting. Our compassionate immigration attorneys at the Law Office of Lloyd E. Bennett Esq., P.C., work with individuals detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) who require immediate legal assistance and guidance.
If you are in this situation, understanding the immigration detention process and your rights is critical to protecting yourself and your family. A Union City immigration detention lawyer from our firm will support you throughout this process.
If ICE detains you, they will either take you to a local detention facility or transfer you to another location, depending on the capacity of the facilities at that time. During this process, you have the right to contact an attorney and have a hearing to determine whether your detention is justified. Understanding your rights immediately is crucial because every moment matters when you have been detained. The Union City area is covered by several detention facilities, and our immigration attorneys know how each one operates.
Our lawyers will make sure the authorities respect your constitutional rights throughout the immigration detention process. You have the right to legal representation, to know the charges or reasons for your detention, and to contest your detention through a hearing.
Many people do not assert these rights because they are unaware of them or fear that doing so will worsen their situation. We will make sure you know what your legal options are.
Contacting our attorneys immediately ensures that someone can advocate for you right away. We will request a bond hearing, file applications for relief or Motions to suppress evidence if your detention was improper, and work toward your release. Delays in getting legal representation can result in a longer detention. We will respond quickly to your calls and work urgently to protect your interests.
If you are eligible for a bond hearing, we will argue that you are not a flight risk and do not pose a danger to the community. Having our skilled lawyers represent you at this hearing can significantly impact the outcome.

Successful detention challenges require thorough preparation. We will work with your family and community members to gather documents, letters, and testimony supporting your release. Our Union City attorneys will help you get ready to testify at the bond hearing after your detention and will present a compelling case to the immigration judge.
If you are released, our attorneys will represent you in any pending immigration proceedings. We will explore protections that may apply to your situation, such as cancellation or withholding of removal or asylum. Release is often the beginning of a longer legal process, and our attorneys will help you understand what comes next.
If you are not released, our attorneys can represent you from within the detention center and fight for your ultimate release.
