Federal District Court Filings of Writ of Habeas Corpus

A writ of habeas corpus is a written court order which orders a detainee into court, most often for a decision regarding whether the detention is unlawful. In immigration matters, writs of habeas corpus are particularly important to avoid continued detention of a person and untimely delays in the processing of his or her case. The right to habeas corpus is an essential part of cases involving immigration detention, as it gives the petitioner the right to challenge the length or conditions of this detention. A habeas corpus petition may be filed whether or not the person in question is in physical custody. For example, restraints on a person's liberty in other ways may satisfy the "in custody" requirement of the law on this subject.
