Habeas Corpus Actions: Protecting Your Freedom in Immigration Custody

At American Dream Law Office, we fight for the rights of immigrants facing unlawful detention by immigration authorities. If you or a loved one is being held in custody without justification or due process, a habeas corpus petition may be the most powerful legal tool available to secure release.

What Is a Habeas Corpus Petition?

Habeas corpus is a constitutional remedy that allows individuals to challenge unlawful or indefinite detention by the government. In immigration law, a habeas petition is filed in federal court when someone is being detained by ICE, CBP, or other immigration agencies without legal cause or a timely hearing.

Simply put, it's a demand for the government to justify your detention, or release you.

When Can You File a Habeas Corpus Action?

A habeas petition may be appropriate when:

  • You or a family member has been detained for months without a bond hearing
  • ICE refuses to release you after a final order of removal, even if deportation is not imminent
  • You are held under mandatory detention but have valid claims for relief
  • You’ve requested parole or release and been wrongfully denied
  • You're detained in a facility without access to proper legal process

These cases often involve complex issues of law and liberty, your freedom is on the line, and every day in detention matters.

Who Can Benefit from a Habeas Petition?

Habeas corpus actions are available to:

  • Immigrants in prolonged ICE detention
  • Asylum seekers being held at the border
  • Lawful permanent residents facing removal without due process
  • Non-citizens held in detention without an opportunity to post bond
  • Individuals whose removal is not possible but remain detained indefinitely

Whether you’re fighting for release or challenging the government’s authority to detain you, a habeas corpus petition may offer the relief you need.
