Aggressive Deportation Defense and Appeal Services in North Texas and Statwide
Texas is home to one of the largest immigrant populations in the United States. Yet, it’s also a state where immigration laws are rigorously enforced, making it a challenging environment for undocumented individuals or those with status uncertainties.
Recent years have brought new challenges, including stricter enforcement under the Trump Administration. Increased pressure on federal agencies to target and apprehend undocumented individuals has heightened the risk for Texas families. Immigration sweeps have become more common, making legal representation in Garland and beyond even more crucial.
Immigrants deserve dignity and fairness during their legal battles, and we’re here to help bring that to reality for people across North Texas and Oklahoma. We are prepared to aggressively pursue every available legal option on your behalf.

What Is Deportation Defense?
Deportation defense refers to the legal strategies and actions taken to advocate on behalf of individuals at risk of being removed (deported) from the United States.
Deportation is initiated by the U.S. government, typically when someone is accused of violating immigration laws, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Deportation defense aims to challenge these allegations, find relief options available under U.S. law, and allow you or your loved one to remain in the country.
If you or someone you love is facing deportation, it’s important to act quickly. Our team can help you build a solid defense early and can make a difference in how the case moves forward.

What to Do If Your Loved One Is Detained by ICE
Knowing that a close family member or friend is in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention is incredibly difficult. While emotions may run high, every step you take can help your loved one’s situation.
Here’s a guide to approaching this situation thoughtfully and effectively:
- Locate Your Loved One - The first step is figuring out where your loved one is detained. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System can provide this information.
- Contact and Visit - Detainees are allowed to communicate with family and legal representatives. Follow the specific detention center’s rules to arrange calls and visits.
- Secure Legal Representation - An attorney can begin advocating for your loved one, help secure an immigration bond, and outline potential defenses.
- Post an Immigration Bond - If your loved one qualifies for bond, you can pay it to secure their temporary release while the case progresses.
- Stay Organized - Keep records of all documents, court dates, and communication with ICE officers. Being organized ensures nothing is missed during the legal process.
We understand how frightening it can be when a loved one is detained by ICE. We are here to guide you every step of the way, offering compassionate and skilled legal support to help you and your family regain control of the situation.
Common Deportation Defense Strategies
No two immigration cases are the same, but there are several strategies a deportation defense attorney may use to fight for you or a loved one’s right to stay in the U.S.
Cancellation of Removal
For certain lawful permanent residents (LPRs) and non-permanent residents, this defense allows individuals to remain in the U.S. if they meet specific criteria, such as continuous presence, good moral character, and demonstrating that removal would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying relative.
Defending Against Criminal Charges
If deportation stems from a criminal offense, an attorney will work to challenge links between the charges and removal to mitigate consequences.
Applying for Asylum
Those fearing persecution in their home country due to race, religion, political beliefs, or other factors may qualify for asylum as a form of relief.
Special Relief for Vulnerable Individuals
Special immigrant statuses, such as VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) for abuse victims or SIJ (Special Immigrant Juvenile Status) for children, can prevent removal in specific cases.
Appealing Deportation Orders
Appealing after receiving a deportation order remains a key strategy for many clients. An attorney can highlight procedural errors or unfair rulings to overturn the decision where possible.
