When someone is detained by immigration, it's important to act quickly and determine what options are available. Detained immigration cases move very fast, giving detained individuals less time to prepare their defense against deportation. It's important to consult an immigration attorney to determine one's eligiblity for relief.

If your family member has been detained, it's important to have some of their information available to provide to an attorney:
Often, it's necessary for an attorney to go and talk to the person at the jail or detention center and to start requesting records to determine any relief and options to stay in the United States. Detained cases can move very quickly with immigration. Often, people are deported within a few months of being arrested, even if it was simply for a traffic ticket.
Many detained immigrants are eligible to apply for a bond. Immigration bonds are expensive and they must be approved by an immigration judge, which can only be done once they are in immigration detention. Consult with an attorney before paying any other bonds, which might result in their being released to immigration and detained again immediately.
Other immigrants are not eligible for bond, but may be eligible for other benefits including parole, an order of supervision, or other relief before an immigration judge. An experienced immigration attorney can help determine what options are available and the likelihood of getting these kinds of benefits.
