What happens when picked up by ICE and put into detention?
 
This is one of the calls we get more than people realize.
 
Here’s the game plan: first, we locate him in ICE custody — that alone can take time. Then we file a motion for a bond hearing, asking a judge to release him while his case continues. But bond hearings haven’t been going well lately, and a denial doesn’t mean it’s over. The next step is a federal habeas corpus petition — a filing with the U.S. district court asking a judge to review whether the detention itself is lawful. For a lot of families, this ends up being the only way to get someone out.
 
If ICE has detained someone in your family/friend — at an airport, at a check-in, anywhere — reach out. We find them first.

Alex’s story Part 2

Last time, we told you Alex was facing removal to Equatorial Guinea — one of the most repressive countries in the world — instead of the country he originally fled. Here’s what happened next.
We filed a federal habeas corpus petition, asking a judge to release Alex from detention. At the hearing, the judge agreed he could be released... just not into the U.S. The offer on the table: leave detention by agreeing to go to Equatorial Guinea.
Alex said no. He’s terrified of what’s waiting for him there. Anyone would be terrified to relocate there.
So we pivoted. We’re now asking the immigration court to reopen his case entirely — arguing that conditions in his home country have changed enough that he could safely return there on his own terms, instead of being sent somewhere he never agreed to.
Here’s the catch: 10 years ago, at his very first hearing, Alex was asked to name a country to be removed to if it ever came to that. Like a lot of people in his position, he respectfully declined to choose one. The judge ruled that means he doesn’t get to choose now either — the government decides, not him. Alex is hoping the motion to reopen gets granted, so home can finally be his decision.

Part 1. Alex did everything right for 10 years. 
He applied for asylum, but filed just past the 1-year deadline — so the judge legally couldn’t grant asylum. But the judge believed him: he had a real, credible fear of being tortured if he went home. So the judge granted something called “withholding of removal” — basically, an order saying “we won’t send you back,” as long as he checked in regularly and stayed out of trouble. That’s how thousands of people have safely remained in the U.S. for the past 20 years.
Then the rules changed. Instead of honoring that protection, immigration authorities started trying to send people like Alex to a third country instead of the one they’re afraid of.
For Alex, that third country was Equatorial Guinea, one of the longest-standing dictatorships in the world. When he was detained, we filed a federal habeas corpus petition: asking a district court judge to order his release.

What happened next? That’s Part 2. 👀 Follow so you don’t miss it.
