Habeas intake that captures detention length and bond history up front
Ask whether the person is currently held by immigration authorities, how long they've been detained, and whether a bond hearing has happened before your team commits to a consultation. Cliont also collects the A-Number and detention facility location so staff can verify custody status right away.

The questions your team needs answered
Every habeas corpus petitions intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the person you want help for currently being held in immigration custody (detained) in the United States? | Confirms the case is actually an immigration custody matter, which is the threshold requirement before a habeas petition even applies. |
| Is the person being held by a U.S. immigration agency (like ICE) or in a detention facility under immigration authority (not only a state or local jail for criminal charges)? | Rules out state or local criminal custody, which falls outside the immigration habeas work your firm handles. |
| Has the person been in immigration detention for more than 30 days? | Detention past 30 days often strengthens a prolonged-detention argument, which is a common basis courts consider in habeas review. |
| Has the person already asked an immigration judge for release (bond or parole) and been denied, or has no bond hearing been given yet? | A denied or missing bond hearing is frequently the specific procedural trigger that makes a habeas filing viable. |
| Do you believe the detention is unlawful or unfair (for example, no hearing, very long detention, wrong person held, or detention continues after a release order)? | Captures the family's own legal theory for the detention, giving staff an early read on how strong the underlying claim may be. |
| Is the person currently in the United States (not already removed/deported to another country)? | Habeas relief generally requires the person to still be held within the U.S., so a no here signals the case may already be moot for this remedy. |
| Do you know the detention facility location and the person’s A-Number (or can you get it quickly)? | The A-Number and facility location let staff pull custody records and identify the correct federal district for filing right away. |

Built for habeas corpus petitions workflows
| Cliont capability | Habeas Corpus Petitions application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching logic | Reorders or skips detention-length and bond-hearing questions based on whether the person is confirmed to be in immigration custody, so criminal-jail cases don't waste intake steps. |
| Automated lead scoring | Weighs prolonged detention and denied bond hearings heavier than basic custody status, so the file most likely to justify a habeas filing rises to the top. |
| Required document capture | Prompts for the A-Number and detention facility location up front so staff can pull custody records before the first call instead of chasing this information later. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified habeas leads to your CRM tagged with detention length and bond status, so intake staff can prioritize the longest-detained, most urgent files first. |
| Instant disqualification flags | Flags submissions where the person is no longer in the United States, since habeas jurisdiction generally requires physical custody within the country. |
Common habeas corpus petitions lead scenarios
Early-stage ICE detention
Person has been in ICE custody under 30 days with no bond hearing scheduled yet. Intake captures detention length and hearing status so staff can flag it before it becomes a prolonged-detention case.
Prolonged detention, bond denied
Detention has passed 30 days and an immigration judge already denied bond. This mix of answers scores highest, since it combines length of custody with a concrete denial the firm can act on.
State or local jail, not ICE
Family believes their relative is 'detained' but the hold is a county jail on criminal charges, not immigration custody. Answering no on custody authority surfaces this as a poor fit before a free consult is booked.
Person already removed from the U.S.
Family reaches out after the person has already been deported. Because habeas relief generally requires physical custody in the U.S., this answer flags the matter for a different kind of review, not a standard habeas intake.
Missing A-Number or facility details
Family confirms detention but hasn't located the A-Number or facility yet. Intake still records the core facts and flags the file for follow-up before documents are gathered.

Habeas Corpus Petitions lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell immigration detention apart from a criminal jail hold?
The intake asks directly whether the person is held in immigration custody versus a state or local jail on criminal charges. Answers here separate genuine habeas candidates from custody situations outside immigration jurisdiction.
Does the intake ask how long the person has been detained?
Yes, it asks whether detention has passed 30 days, since length of custody is one of the factors that often supports a habeas argument for unlawful or prolonged detention.
What if the family doesn't have the detainee's A-Number yet?
The intake still records what's known and flags the file so your team can follow up for the A-Number and facility location before the case moves forward.
Will the intake screen out cases where the person has already been deported?
Yes, it asks whether the person is currently in the United States, since habeas relief typically requires the petitioner to still be in custody within the country.
How does the intake handle a denied bond hearing versus no hearing at all?
It asks whether a bond hearing was requested and denied, or never given, since either scenario is often the specific legal trigger firms look for before filing a habeas petition.
Can this same intake also cover removal defense cases?
No, removal and deportation defense has its own separate intake in the library; this one is built specifically around custody status, detention length, and bond history for habeas matters.
