Immigration Detention

About Immigration Detention

Immigration detention is one of the most serious things the Home Office can do, and detention is only lawful when used for a clear immigration purpose within reasonable time limits. Many detentions can and should be challenged, especially where there is no realistic prospect of removal in a reasonable period. RakLAW acts for detainees and their families, securing release through bail, challenging unlawful detention by judicial review, and protecting any underlying asylum, human rights or removal case.

Who this is for

  • Detained migrants and their worried families
  • Asylum seekers held during their claim
  • People held following enforcement encounters
  • Anyone facing prolonged or repeat detention

How RakLAW helps

  • Press for urgent release and bail
  • Challenge unlawful detention by judicial review
  • Protect underlying asylum and human rights claims
  • Advise families on visiting, contact and support
