Securing Immigration Bonds and Fighting Detention with Urgent Legal Action
If you or a loved one has been detained by immigration authorities, every moment counts—and every decision matters.
Don’t Face Immigration Detention Alone
Legal Representation for ICE Detainees and Families
Immigration detention is frightening, disorienting, and often unjust. People are taken from their homes, jobs, and families—sometimes with little warning. At Pedro L. Salim Law Firm, we provide fast, strategic legal intervention to help individuals in detention secure their release, protect their rights, and prepare for the immigration process ahead.
We represent detained individuals at bond hearings, help file requests for release on parole or supervision, and coordinate with family members to gather evidence of community ties, financial support, and legal defenses. Whether you’re in a county jail or ICE facility, we can help you fight for freedom.
Detention doesn’t mean deportation is inevitable. In fact, individuals often have strong cases for asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status—but they need to be released and represented quickly to preserve those rights.
What Happens After an Immigration Arrest?
How We Help Clients Navigate ICE Custody and Immigration Court
After arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a person may be held in a detention center without bond—or with bond set too high to pay. Some may receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) for court while still in custody. Others may face fast-track deportation without realizing they have legal options.
Our attorneys act quickly to:
- Request custody review and bond
- File parole or humanitarian release requests
- Challenge detention under the law
- Prepare defense strategies to stop deportation
- Identify eligibility for release under criminal history waivers
- Help qualify for protections like asylum or VAWA-based relief
We also work with families to collect birth certificates, green cards, tax filings, affidavits of support, and other key documents to prove eligibility for bond or legal relief.
Bond Hearing Representation
We prepare and present strong bond arguments showing community ties, no danger to public safety, and likelihood of attending hearings.
Detention Reviews & ICE Custody Requests
Our team negotiates with ICE and DHS to request parole, humanitarian release, or alternatives to detention.
We advocate for detained individuals caring for minor children or dependent family members—often overlooked by ICE.
If you’ve been wrongfully detained or ordered deported without notice, we may reopen or cancel removal proceedings.
We provide both immigration and criminal counsel for individuals detained based on past arrests or convictions.
If your rights were violated in detention—lack of medical care, abuse, or prolonged detention—we may pursue a civil rights or personal injury claim.

Detention & Bond FAQs
Common Questions About ICE Detention and Release
Can everyone ask for a bond hearing?
No. Some individuals—especially with certain criminal convictions—are subject to mandatory detention. But we may still request review or alternatives.
How is the bond amount decided?
The judge considers flight risk and danger to the community. We present evidence showing you are safe, stable, and have ties to remain in the U.S.
Can I get released without paying bond?
What if I was detained after finishing a criminal sentence?
You may face ICE custody under immigration law. We evaluate whether you're eligible for relief and explore post-conviction options.
Can I apply for asylum while detained?
Yes. We file defensive asylum applications and represent you at hearings—even while in custody.
