What Rights Do Immigrant Detainees Have?

Home » Immigration Help & Resources » What Rights Do Immigrant Detainees Have?

The rights of immigrant detainees are few, but powerful. Often, immigrants are unsure of their rights and some will willingly forfeit what rights they have because they are confused or scared of repercussions. The United States affords rights to all people on its lands. The rights of immigrant detainees are less than the rights of citizens, but the rights that are awarded to detainees can mean the difference between deportation and relief.

The Right to See an Immigration Judge

The most important right of immigrant detainees is the right to see an immigration judge. The immigrant detainee is granted a hearing to determine if they are eligible for relief. If given relief, the immigrant detainee will be allowed to stay in the United States.

The Right to See an Immigration Attorney

Detainees and their loved ones should always remember that they have the right to see an immigration attorney. Unlike U.S. citizens, legal representation for detainees is not given at the expense of the government, so detainees and their families should be prepared to pay for the services.

US Immigration Bonds has often recommended immigration attorneys to our clients, so feel free to contact us for more information.

Voluntary Departure

One of the rights of immigrant detainees that is often forgotten is the right to voluntary departure. An immigrant is allowed to voluntarily depart the United States. The benefit of choosing this option is that you are not barred from entering the United States again.

The Right to Release on Immigration Bond

US Immigration Bonds has been in the business of providing bonds for immigrant detainees for years. It is important for immigrants to know that they have the right to release on immigration bond. Often, it is beneficial to seek release while awaiting the immigration hearing. This allows detainees to return to their lives until their trial is held.

The American Civil Liberties Union

The ACLU is a longtime advocate for the rights of immigrant detainees, and the issue of immigration on the ACLU website is well documented. See the resources they have available.

US Immigration Bonds

As previously mentioned, one of the rights of immigrant detainees is the right to an immigration bond and a hearing for that bond. US Immigration Bonds has a wealth of immigration resources available that can offer more advice for those who are up against the immigration policies of the United States.

ICE Detainee Locator

Before moving forward, use the ICE immigrant locator to find a detainee. It is also recommended to start the process to have your loved one released from an immigration detention center as soon as possible.

US immigration bonds were absolutely the best they were super professional. When I was down and out when my husband was detained by immigration they were very caring , knowledgeable, and patient. I called them a thousand times and they were very empathic and helpful everytime I called. they reassures me that everything would be fine, and that they would help me my husband, and my children be reunited again. They did everything they could to get me a same day release. They exceeded my expectations. I would not recommend any company other than US immigration bonds. Us immigration bonds, under promises and over fulfills. They were a true blessing ! Thank you so much again.read more

Jeremy Wolf and his agency have been a terrific resource for me as I delve into this foreign world of bonding a friend out of jail so he and his wife can work on his case on the "outside." Jeremy has been unfailingly polite and informative and his video regarding how to complete the necessary forms was a valuable tool too. The entire process was quick and relatively easy. I especially appreciated not having to deal with a jaded, impatient, figure--it-out-yourself kind of person when I was treading in really unfamiliar territory. My questions were always answered quickly and efficiently.I highly recommend this company in your time of need for quick, efficient and professional service with no attitude or delay.read more

Jeremy Wolf, is compassionate and understanding. He has been there and done it with his own family, and together with his wife they dedicate their time and energy into helping other families come together. I know this because my husband was taken by ICE and his bond was set much higher than I could have imagined, having in my hands at any given time. ... With Jeremy, his wife and the rest of the team we were able to piece together the required 80% and set up a affordable and convient payment plan. It was a grueling process, at times I felt like I was going to loose all my hair, as I ran around selling homemade tamales, and had various other fund raisers going on, along with my husband being detained, I lost my home, my dog and my daughter and I pushed forward with the help and support of Jeremy and his team, if It wasn't for there hours of help and dedication, to put a previous bond for my nephew into action to help my husband, we wouldn't have been able to have him home for the Holidays. ... To Jeremy, Veronica, and Amber, who I spoke with often, and the other parts of the team who I was unable to catch their names, I THANK YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!read more
