What can i do when the immigration police pick up my boyfriend

A good idea once someone is picked up is to involve a lawyer in the case. The lawyer can attempt to obtain the alien's immigration story and figure out what options are available in his or her defense. Useful questions to know the answers to are whether the individual has had problems with Immigration previously, whether the person has had criminal arrests, how long a person has been in the country, what relatives that person has, and what other equities there are, etc.. Dependent upon the person's history, bond may be available, or other reliefs such as a grant of prosecutorial discretion resulting in administrative closure, asylum, withholding of removal, etc. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
