When Every Hour Counts

If your loved one has been detained by ICE, time is the enemy. The first 48 hours can determine whether they're transferred to a remote facility, whether bond is even possible, and whether critical relief is preserved. Status Granted's detention defense team operates a 24/7 emergency line for exactly this reason, because no family should have to wait until Monday morning to find out where their father, mother, son, or daughter is being held.

We track detainees through ICE's online locator, arrange in-person attorney visits at facilities across the country, and file bond motions, parole requests, and stay-of-removal applications on an emergency basis. We've reunited thousands of families and we know how to move fast when the system is moving against you.

Bond Hearings & Custody Redeterminations

For detainees eligible for bond, we appear before the Immigration Judge to argue for release on the lowest possible bond amount. We prepare comprehensive packets, letters of support, proof of community ties, employment records, family photos, evidence of rehabilitation, and a viable address with a sponsor — to demonstrate that your loved one is neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community.

For clients subject to mandatory detention under §236(c), we evaluate whether constitutional challenges, post-final-order Zadvydas claims, or other arguments may secure release. And when bond is denied, we file motions for redetermination as new evidence develops, including changed family circumstances or the resolution of pending criminal matters.

Parole, Stays & Habeas Corpus

Some detainees are not eligible for bond but may qualify for humanitarian parole, medical parole, or release under Order of Supervision. We submit detailed parole requests to ICE supervisors and ERO field office directors, supported by medical records, family hardship declarations, and community support letters.

For clients with final removal orders facing imminent deportation, we file emergency stays of removal with ICE and the BIA, and where appropriate, petitions for review with stays in the Circuit Courts of Appeals. In prolonged-detention cases, we file habeas corpus petitions in U.S. District Court under Zadvydas v. Davis to challenge unlawful continued detention. Detention is serious. We treat it that way.
