When you or a loved one is arrested or detained by immigration authorities it is critical to get help from a competent immigration attorney.
Weaver Immigration Law helps clients get out of New Mexico's three detention centers. If your loved one has been caught crossing into the United States, or if they have been arrested by ICE and placed in an immigration detention center we can help. We have the experience and resources available to visit any detainee in New Mexico.
If you do not know where your loved one is or if they have not called, you can use the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee locator by clicking here.
Be sure to spell the name correctly because the system will not be able to locate you if you do not. Also, try variations on the name with and without the second last name or hyphens. It may take three to five days to get him or her into the database. Our law firm will help you locate your loved one when you call us at 505-218-7265.
Below are the three detention centers where clients from New Mexico are detained:
Otero County Processing Center:
26 McGregor Range Road, Chaparral, NM 88081
Phone: (575) 824-0440 ext. 200
Cibola County Correctional Center:
2000 Cibola Loop, Milan, NM 87021

Torrance County Detention Facility:
209 County Road A049, Estancia, NM 87016
Phone: (505) 384-2711
If you have a family member who is in detention and is not listed at one of the above detention centers we can still help you locate your loved one and inform you of ways we can help.
Procedure
Attorney Scott D. Weaver will guide you on what to expect when you visit your loved one at the detention center. Once you feel comfortable and understand what to expect, we will visit the client, either virtually, or in person, to review the client's case and immigration history. At that time we will determine the possible areas of relief that he or she is eligible for under U.S. immigration law.
For asylum cases, the client will frequently be subjected to a credible or reasonable fear interview. Many clients need to win the credible or reasonable fear interview before receiving an official bond release from deportation. If the bond is too high and cannot be paid, we may file a motion for bond redetermination in which we ask the immigration judge to lower the bond amount.
Our first priority is to always get your loved one out of immigration detention so that he or she can fight his or her case freely. Sometimes we are able to help clients out of the immigration detention bond center and help them obtain a legal work permit while they are awaiting their trial. We understand that you want to be reunited with your loved one and we work tirelessly to make sure that happens.
Call Our Firm to See If You or Your Family Qualifies for an Immigration Bond
You can apply for an immigration bond from the immigration court even if the Department of Homeland Security has not given you an NTA. Our law firm will file a bond hearing motion on your behalf, which will include the reasons why you should be released from custody and able to fight your case outside the walls of the detention center.
When deciding on an appropriate bond the immigration judge will consider a wide variety of factors, including but not limited to:
-
Whether you pose a danger to society;
-
Whether you are likely to go to future hearings to cooperate with all requirements imposed by the U.S. government relating to your immigration case;
-
Your family ties;
-
Community ties;
-
Employment history;
-
Criminal history;
-
The manner in which you entered the United States and the length of time you have resided here;
-
Membership in community organizations; and
-
Likelihood of obtaining permanent residency.
Weaver Immigration Law understands how to prepare your petition for a bond hearing to give you the best chance of receiving a bond that you or your loved ones can afford to pay to get you out. We use a variety of factors to help demonstrate why you deserve to be released from immigration detention.
Even if you have already been given a bond, but cannot pay, our law office may be able to request a second bond hearing on your behalf to help you get out.
