Baltimore Habeas Corpus Lawyers at Griffith Immigration Law

At Griffith Immigration Law, we represent individuals and families in Baltimore and throughout Maryland who are facing unlawful immigration detention. If you or a loved one is being held by ICE and believe the detention is illegal or unreasonably prolonged, our attorneys can help you pursue a Habeas Corpus petition to challenge the detention and seek release.

What Is Habeas Corpus?

A writ of Habeas Corpus is a legal action that requires the government to bring a detained person before a federal court and justify the legality of their detention. Habeas corpus is a critical safeguard against unlawful or indefinite detention and plays a vital role in immigration cases.

In the Baltimore immigration detention context, habeas corpus is often used to challenge prolonged detention without a bond hearing, due process violations, or detention that exceeds what federal law allows. If the court finds the detention unlawful, it may order release, a bond hearing, or other appropriate relief.

Why Habeas Corpus Matters in Baltimore Immigration Cases

Immigrants detained in or near Baltimore, Maryland may face extended custody at ICE detention facilities without meaningful judicial review. A habeas corpus petition allows detained individuals to bring their case before a federal judge when other remedies are unavailable or exhausted.

Habeas corpus can be used to:

  • Challenge prolonged or indefinite ICE detention
  • Request a bond hearing when one has been denied
  • Address violations of constitutional due process rights
  • Seek federal court review of unlawful detention practices

For many detained immigrants in the Baltimore area, habeas corpus may be the most effective path toward release.

When You May Need a Habeas Corpus Attorney in Baltimore

You may want to speak with a Baltimore habeas corpus lawyer if:

  • You have been detained by ICE for months without a bond hearing
  • Your detention has become unreasonably prolonged
  • You are being held despite eligibility for release or bond
  • Your constitutional rights have been violated while in custody
  • There is no clear timeline for the end of your detention

While habeas relief does not guarantee immediate release, it can result in a court-ordered bond hearing or release from detention.
