Current ICE policy is to detain undocumented or removable immigrants after an arrest. If you or a family member has been detained, act quickly — an experienced immigration attorney can make a real difference in the bond and hearing process.
When ICE apprehends someone in Mississippi, they are taken to the Enforcement and Removal Operations office in Jackson for fingerprinting, questioning, assignment of an Alien number, and a review of bond eligibility.
Under current policy, most detainees initially lack bond eligibility, though a bond may be requested before an immigration judge. Even applicants denied bond retain the right to present their case to a judge — though they do so while detained. Experienced counsel is strongly recommended.
Because Jackson has no detention facility, detainees are typically transferred to centers in Louisiana — LaSalle, Pine Prairie, Tensas Parish, or Basile — where a deportation officer is assigned.
Every detained immigrant has the right to a hearing that determines the legality of deportation and any exceptions that may allow them to remain. We help evaluate the prospects of your case.
