This course is a collaboration between VECINA, the Texas Civil Rights Project, and the Texas Immigration Law Council. We welcome you to this course on filing writs of habeas corpus on behalf of individuals unlawfully detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In this course, we will explore the use of habeas corpus as a critical legal mechanism for challenging unlawful detention in immigration removal proceedings. This course will guide you through the relevant legal standards, procedural requirements, and practical strategies involved in preparing and filing a habeas corpus petition. Our goal is to help you develop clarity, confidence, and competence in navigating this important area of the law.
