Aggressive Removal Defense Representation
Removal proceedings can be frightening and confusing. If you or a loved one is facing deportation, Cruz Torres Legal Services offers thorough and aggressive Removal Defense. We understand that every case is unique. Whether you’re eligible for asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, or other forms of relief, we will analyze your circumstances and fight to keep you and your family together.
Appeals, Reopens, and Post-Removal Strategies
If your immigration case was denied or you’ve received an order of removal, there may still be hope. We regularly handle Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and Motions to Reopen based on new facts or ineffective prior counsel. Even after deportation, we help clients file Post-Removal Order motions when circumstances warrant reconsideration. We leave no legal path unexplored in our efforts to reverse negative outcomes.
FOIA Requests to Build Stronger Cases
Many immigration cases require documentation from federal agencies. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request can uncover vital records, including prior applications, transcripts, or enforcement history. We assist clients in submitting targeted, efficient FOIA Requests to ensure their case file is complete and accurate. This information is often the foundation for a strong legal defense.
Voluntary Departure and Strategic Planning
In some situations, Voluntary Departure may offer a more favorable outcome than removal. It allows individuals to leave the country on their own terms, potentially preserving future eligibility for legal reentry. We help clients understand this option, assess its risks and benefits, and prepare the necessary filings with immigration authorities.
Support for Credible Fear Interviews
For individuals fleeing persecution, a Credible Fear Interview is the first step in seeking asylum. We work closely with clients to prepare for these high-stakes interviews, ensuring they understand the questions, know what evidence may support their claim, and are ready to clearly share their story with immigration officials.
TPS Applications and Humanitarian Relief
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is available to individuals from certain designated countries facing unsafe conditions. We assist clients in submitting and renewing TPS applications, ensuring eligibility is met and documentation is complete. We also monitor changes in TPS policies that may affect New York residents.
ICE Detention Defense Throughout New York
If you or a family member is being held by ICE, fast and effective legal action is critical. We provide immediate assistance, representation at bond hearings, and defense in removal proceedings. Our goal is to secure release and protect our clients’ rights throughout detention.
