Unlawful Arrests, ICE Detention, and Deportation Defense
When ICE arrests someone or places them in detention, the government moves fast—and mistakes happen. People are stopped without proper cause, detained without a valid legal basis, denied due process, or pressured into signing documents they do not understand. In these moments, every decision matters, and the consequences can be life-changing.
Attorney Farah Hobballah is a litigation-focused immigration attorney with extensive experience challenging unlawful arrests, detention practices, and removal actions. Her practice includes emergency response representation, bond strategy, custody challenges, and aggressive defense in Immigration Court—along with federal court litigation when the government violates the law. She understands how to obtain and use the custody record, identify statutory and constitutional defects, and build a defense that forces accountability.
Hobballah Legal Group, PLC regularly handles:
- ICE arrests and post-arrest strategy;
- Detention review, bond, and custody challenges;
- Removal defense in Immigration Court;
- Motions to reopen, terminate, suppress, and reconsider;
- Habeas corpus and federal litigation for unlawful detention or due process violations;
- Complex cases involving prior orders, criminal allegations, and government misconduct;
If you or a loved one is facing detention or deportation, you need a lawyer who can move immediately, identify pressure points in the government’s case, and fight for release and lawful status with precision and urgency.
