IMMIGRATION DETENTION

No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment V

Relentless Legal Advocacy

At Lee & Godshall-Bennett LLP, we don’t treat immigration detention as just another case—it’s a constitutional crisis in real time. When federal agencies lock people away without accountability, we respond with speed, precision, and unyielding resolve.

We file emergency habeas petitions, challenge unlawful detention practices, and go toe-to-toe with ICE and DHS to fight for our clients’ freedom. We know what it means to stand between the state and the individual—and we don’t flinch. In this era of escalating detention and systemic abuse, we bring the full force of strategic, high-stakes litigation to protect the liberty and dignity of those targeted.

Precision Strategy & Exacting Preparation.

Challenging immigration detention in this political climate takes more than legal knowledge—it demands audacity, clarity, and tactical discipline. We treat every case as a frontline battle for liberty. We don’t deal in templates or shortcuts. We build each case from the ground up, with individualized strategy, forensic attention to detail, and a commitment to leaving no argument unused.

We work side by side with clients, families, and community allies to uncover the facts, expose systemic abuses, and press for release in even the most entrenched cases—whether it’s prolonged detention, due process violations, or government overreach that demands immediate federal court action. This is not business as usual. It’s a fight for freedom, and we prepare like it.
