Understanding Detainee Hearings

What Happens When You Are Detained by Immigration?

When you are detained by immigration authorities, you may be placed in detention pending removal proceedings. This means you’ll have to appear before an immigration judge for a hearing to determine whether you can stay in the United States or will be deported.

What Can I Expect at an Immigration Court Hearing?

At an immigration court hearing, you can expect to appear before an immigration judge who will review your case. You’ll have the opportunity to present evidence, testimony, and legal arguments to support your claim for relief from removal.

What Happens at an Immigration Individual Hearing?

During an immigration individual hearing, the immigration judge will listen to your testimony and review any evidence presented. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether you are eligible for relief from removal, such as asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status.

What Are the Two Types of Immigration Hearings?

There are two main types of immigration hearings: master calendar hearings and individual hearings. Master calendar hearings are initial hearings where the judge addresses procedural matters and schedules future proceedings. Individual hearings are substantive hearings where the judge considers the merits of your case and decides whether you qualify for relief from removal.
