Detention
The local Immigration District Office determines whether to detain an
Alien.  The process usually begins with the issuance of an arrest warrant
for the Alien and subsequently an arrest.  Its important to note that the
law allows ICE to arrest and detain Aliens for up to 48 hours even without
the issuance of an arrest warrant.  Within 48 hours, ICE must determine
whether to release the Alien being detained on bond or continue to
detain the Alien and issue a Notice to Appear.  


Criteria To Be Released From Detention
To be eligible for release, the Foreign National must prove that the
release will not pose a danger to persons or property, and will likely
appear for future proceedings.  Other factors include:     
  • Local family ties;
  • History of prior arrests, convictions, and/or appearances at previous
    hearings;
  • Membership in community groups;
  • Manner of entry or length of stay in the United States;
  • Financial ability to post bond.

Subsequent to being detained, Removal Proceedings will usually occur.  
If you have been detained and are going through removal proceedings
or a friend or loved one is being detained contact
