What Should I Do if Detained by ICE?!
Immigration authorities follow multiple methods to track and arrest migrants subject to removal proceedings or deportation. It may include workplace raids, highway stops, or even during visits to immigration offices. In Georgia, people arrested by ICE officials are sent to the contract detention facility hours away from Atlanta or any other detention center or county jail approved to house such inmates. Foreigners who served their criminal sentences are also transferred to these detention centers.
As soon as one is detained or faces the potential risk of detention, it is in his best interest to consult an immigration lawyer with a proven track record. We can figure out if the detained person is eligible for bond and start to build his defense.

Who Is At The Risk of ICE Detention and Being Placed in Removal Proceedings
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made 143,470 administrative arrests in 2017. About 92% of those arrested were convicted of a crime or had pending criminal charges. A review of the ICE statistics over the years indicates that criminal convictions account for more than half of deportations. However, those facing deportation after arrest or an illegal border crossing may have a chance to avoid it provided that they are supported by an expert immigration attorney.
Migrants detained have the right to defend themselves through an immigration lawyer and seek freedom from detention.
The ICE can arrest, detain, and start removal proceeding against an undocumented person residing in the United States, if
- he is criminally convicted
- he is facing criminal offense charges
- his actions are similar to a chargeable criminal offense
- he is party to fraudulent or willful misrepresentation involving a government agency
- he is accused of abusing a public benefit program
- he is a risk to public safety and national security
- he is subject to the final removal order but ignores his legal obligation to leave the United States.
