I AM IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY AND I HAVE BEEN DETAINED. WHAT DO I DO?

The first thing to do is to stay calm and obtain legal help. Do not sign any documents or answer any questions: remember, you are entitled to remain silent. If you are offered voluntary departure, do not accept it. The team at the Law Offices of Manuel Solis has a lot of experience with deportation cases, and we can fight your case to prevent deportation, and then petition for permanent residence if you qualify for it.
