Many friends and families call upon our immigration law firm with questions when there is a loved one detained by Immigration. The first question we are usually asked is: how can we get our loved one out of there; can we post bail for immigrants in detention?
For many people, staying in the US can be a matter of life and death. Being deported could mean persecution in their own countries, torture, and/or death. But for many immigrants, extreme hardship means being forced to live without your family, children, spouse, or simply losing your access to financial stability for yourself or family.
We know how it goes. You’ve been removed (deported), but your life and family are back in the United States. The first thing to know is that even as an illegal immigrant who is being removed, you have rights. There are many legal ways to fight deportation, so don’t panic.

For many people, receiving a notice of deportation, (or worse – getting put into detention) can feel like the end of the line for their dreams of living lawfully in the US.
