Please note that administrative and enforcement immigration functions of the United States government are overseen by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) carries out administrative functions, including the issuing of visas. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), are charged with enforcing immigration laws and protecting the U.S. borders. United States Immigration Courts are under the jurisdiction of the United States Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR).
All the information on these websites and documents are meant to provide useful basic information about immigration law and detention. Please note that many of these resources originate from other jurisdictions and that the law in those jurisdictions may vary from that of the jurisdiction of your case. Under no circumstances do these resources constitute legal advice. It is always in your best interest to consult with an attorney competent in the area of law applicable to your case.
