What is Border Detention?

Border detention occurs when individuals are apprehended at or near the U.S. border by immigration authorities. This can happen for various reasons, including:

• Entering the U.S. without proper documentation.
• Issues with immigration status or prior deportation orders.
• Seeking asylum at the border.

Detention can be overwhelming, but you have rights. With the right legal representation, you can fight for your release and pursue the appropriate immigration relief.
