Re: Jail

When a person is detained under an immigration hold, it does not necessarily mean that the Immigration Service will transfer the person to a different location. It usually just means that jurisdiction over the person's custody is now with the Immigration Service.

The Immigration Service typically reviews a person's custody situation every 90 days. If the person has some form of relief from removal/deportation, he can seek to be released on bond.

These types of cases usually are very complicated and anybody trying to fight deportation should retain an attorney for assistance.
