Your Rights

• In many cases, individuals detained while their legal process is ongoing may be released by posting bond or complying with certain reporting requirements.
• You have the right to communicate with an attorney or a family member, as well as to receive visits from your attorney while in custody.

What to Do if You Are Detained

• If you are not granted release after being detained for an immigration violation, you have the right to request a bond hearing before an immigration judge. Depending on the circumstances, the judge may approve your release or reduce the bond amount.
