We Fight For Clients In Detention And Bond Hearings
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the authority to question and detain individuals who are suspected of violating U.S. immigration laws. One common scenario is a traffic stop in which the officer runs a search and discovers an immigration hold or a question of immigration status. Noncitizens may also be detained by Homeland Security upon arrest on suspicion of certain crimes or outstanding warrants for deportable offenses.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the law enforcement arm of DHS. Within 48 hours of arrest, ICE officials must decide whether to detain a person or release him or her on bond. The agency will also decide whether to pursue removal (deportation).
In 2025, the Trump administration has implemented stringent immigration policies aimed at expediting deportations and expanding detention. Notably, the administration plans to invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to facilitate mass deportations by bypassing standard court hearings, a move that is expected to face legal challenges.
Additionally, executive orders have been issued to militarize borders and broaden immigration enforcement, leading to an increase in detentions and deportations. These policies have heightened the need for skilled immigration legal representation to navigate the complex and rapidly changing immigration landscape.

Immigration Defense Attorneys For ICE Detention
The immigration detention lawyers of Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A., have extensive experience defending clients in detention and bond hearings and deportation proceedings.
Individuals who are subject to immigration holds may be transferred to an ICE detention center — a local facility in South Florida or sometimes an out-of-state center. This is scary and stressful, especially when you cannot contact your detained family member or get answers from government officials.
When our firm is contacted right away, our lawyers can advocate for clients in an immigration bond hearing (detention hearing). The judge will decide whether to hold the person indefinitely until removal proceedings or release the person upon posting of a cash bond. We will work to get your family member bonded out so they are not transferred far from home and needlessly jailed for weeks or months.

We Want To Get You Back To Your Family; Call Now
Our goal is to get clients released on bond before being transported to a detention center. However, we have also gone to court to get clients released from Krome (Miami), Baker, Broward (Pompano Beach), Glades (Okeechobee) and other ICE facilities in Florida and beyond.
Meanwhile, our defense attorneys deal with the underlying offense, especially if it is an aggravated felony or other deportable offense. If we can get the criminal charges or immigration violation dismissed or reduced, we can then petition for cancellation of removal. Our immigration detention attorneys also handle immigration appeals on behalf of clients who have already been processed and ordered to be deported.

Immigration Detention & Bond FAQs
What is the purpose of a bond hearing in immigration cases?
A bond hearing allows a detained individual to request release from ICE custody while their immigration case is pending. An immigration judge evaluates whether the individual poses a flight risk or danger to the community before deciding on release conditions.
What are the 2025 immigration detention policies?
The administration has enacted policies to expedite deportations and expand detention, including plans to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to bypass standard court procedures for certain deportations. These measures have increased the number of individuals in detention and expedited removal processes.
Can I appeal an adverse decision in my immigration case?
Yes, adverse decisions can be appealed to higher authorities, such as the Board of Immigration Appeals or federal courts. Our immigration detention lawyers can guide you through the appeals process to seek a favorable outcome.
How can a immigration attorney assist me during detention and bond hearings?
An experienced immigration bond lawyer can present evidence and arguments to demonstrate that you are neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community, increasing the likelihood of securing your release on bond.
What should I do if a loved one is detained by ICE in Florida?
Contact our firm immediately to discuss the specifics of the case. Prompt legal intervention can be crucial in securing release and addressing the underlying immigration issues.
