When Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains a person, that person is taken into custody and held at a detention facility while their immigration case is processed.
Detention can happen suddenly, often without warning, and can separate families within hours. But a detained individual has the right to contact an immigration attorney, request a bond hearing, and fight their case in immigration court.
The sooner an experienced Cincinnati immigration detention lawyer is contacted, the better the chances of securing release and building a strong defense. ICE detention does not mean deportation is inevitable, however. It just means the clock is running, and every hour matters.
The fear and confusion can be overwhelming when a family member is detained. You may not know where they are being held, whether they qualify for bond, or what steps to take first. The Law Firm of Anna Korneeva has guided families through exactly these moments.
We know how the detention system works, we know the facilities, and we know how to move quickly when speed is required. Contact Anna Korneeva to learn more.
ICE operates detention facilities throughout the country, and individuals arrested in the greater Cincinnati area may be held in Ohio or Kentucky or transferred to facilities in other states.
Once a person is detained, they are processed and assigned an Alien Registration Number (A-Number), which is used to track their case through the immigration system. After processing, however, the detained individual will typically receive a Notice to Appear (NTA), which formally initiates removal proceedings before an Immigration Judge.
From that point forward, the case moves through immigration court, where the detainee can contest removal, apply for relief, or request bond. But understanding which facility holds your loved one, which immigration court has jurisdiction over the case, and what procedural deadlines apply requires knowledge that comes only from experience.
Attorney Korneeva and her team work quickly to locate detained clients, obtain case information, and take immediate action on their behalf. Schedule your consultation today.
One of the first and most important steps after detention is requesting a bond hearing. A bond hearing gives the detained person the opportunity to argue before an Immigration Judge that they should be released from custody while their case proceeds.
Not everyone qualifies for a bond, but many people who believe they do not qualify actually do, with the right legal representation. At a bond hearing, the Immigration Judge considers factors including:
Bond amounts in immigration cases can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. If the bond is set at an amount your family cannot afford, Attorney Korneeva can file a motion to redetermine the bond and argue for a lower amount.
If the bond is denied entirely, she can explore additional options, including appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals. Reach out now for more information.
In certain circumstances, immigration law requires that a person be held without bond. This is known as mandatory detention and typically applies to individuals with certain criminal convictions or those who have been previously removed from the country.
If ICE has placed a mandatory hold on your loved one, it does not necessarily mean all hope is lost. Attorney Korneeva will review the basis for the mandatory hold carefully. And in some cases, she can help prove that the government’s determination of mandatory detention is incorrect.
However, challenging a mandatory hold requires precise legal knowledge and meticulous attention to the record. That’s exactly the kind of work our firm does.
Once a detained individual is in removal proceedings, the focus shifts to fighting deportation. Depending on the circumstances, there may be several forms of deportation relief available, including:
Attorney Korneeva evaluates every available avenue before advising a client on strategy. No two cases are identical, and the right approach depends entirely on the facts.
Many immigration detentions are triggered by criminal charges or convictions, even minor ones. A DUI, a drug possession charge, or a domestic violence conviction can place a non-citizen directly in ICE’s crosshairs, sometimes years after the original case was resolved.
The Law Firm of Anna Korneeva is one of the few firms in the Cincinnati area that handles criminal defense and immigration law under one roof. This matters enormously when a client’s detention is connected to a criminal record.
Attorney Korneeva can evaluate whether the underlying conviction was properly obtained, whether post-conviction relief is available to reduce its immigration impact, and how best to present the criminal history in immigration proceedings to minimize the risk of removal.
If you or your loved one was convicted of a crime without being properly advised of the immigration consequences, that conviction may be challengeable. The intersection of criminal and immigration law is where Anna Korneeva’s practice is strongest, and where her clients benefit most.
We know that families in this situation are frightened. When you contact the Law Firm of Anna Korneeva, you will speak with someone who takes your situation seriously from the first moment. We will work to locate your detained family member, obtain their A-Number and case information, identify the detention facility, and assess the immediate options for bond or release.
Attorney Korneeva will give you an honest assessment of the case from the start. She will not promise outcomes she cannot deliver, but she will work with urgency and precision to pursue every option available. Her goal is always to reunite families as quickly as possible and to fight for the best long-term outcome in immigration court.
Our firm offers services in English, Spanish, and Russian, which means that language is never a barrier between a detained individual and the legal help they need.
