Protecting your rights from unjust deportation and detention

Visiting and living in the United States come with important responsibilities — including adherence to criminal and immigration regulations. Violation of U.S. laws can result in detention, deportation or removal. You may be detained or deported if you:

• Cannot financially support yourself
• Commit a crime
• Enter the United States without a visa
• Fraudulently marry to obtain immigration privileges
• Give an immigration officer false documents or information
• Overstay your visa
• Threaten the security of the country
• Violate the terms of your visa

Immediately retain a lawyer who offers Philadelphia deportation help to those immigrants who face the frightening prospect of incarceration and separation from their families, homes and livelihoods.

What you need to know about deportation proceedings

Deportation proceedings begin when the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issues you a Notice to Appear (NTA) that identifies the reasons for your order of removal and date of your hearing, at which you are given the opportunity to admit or deny the allegations. An immigration judge may issue an order of removal if you admit to the claims asserted on the NTA unless you are eligible for a waiver. If you deny the NTA or request relief, the court schedules an individual hearing to give you the opportunity to present evidence in support of your position.

Get help now with your bond requests

Often individuals held on immigration violations have never committed a crime and could never imagine being jailed. If you are detained in Philadelphia, immigration detention centers that may house you include criminal facilities such as Clinton County Correctional Facility, Lackawanna County Prison and Pike County Correctional Facility.

If you are eligible, your lawyer can secure an immigration bond in return for your release from detention until the disposition of your case.
