At The Scott Law Firm, our expert Louisiana immigration attorneys understand that navigating the complexities of federal immigration law can be overwhelming. When administrative decisions, such as visa denials, deportation orders, or other immigration enforcement actions, threaten your future, federal litigation may be your best path to justice. Our dedicated immigration attorneys in Louisiana understand the immense stress these situations cause. We are committed to providing the clear, authoritative, and compassionate guidance you need. When the administrative process fails to protect your rights, we are prepared to take the fight to federal court on your behalf.

What Is Federal Immigration Litigation?

Federal immigration litigation involves challenging decisions made by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in federal court. These cases often include habeas corpus petitions, mandamus actions, or other lawsuits aimed at protecting your rights and ensuring fair treatment under the law.

Our experienced immigration attorneys are skilled in:

• Filing federal lawsuits to challenge unlawful detention or removal orders.
• Representing clients in mandamus actions to compel government agencies to make timely decisions.
• Handling habeas corpus petitions for individuals facing prolonged detention.
• Challenging agency delays, denials, or misapplications of immigration law.
  

We combine a deep understanding of federal court procedures with a compassionate approach to client advocacy. Every case is unique, and we work tirelessly to ensure your voice is heard and your legal rights are fully protected.

If you’re facing immigration enforcement actions, delayed applications, or unjust treatment by federal agencies, our team is here to fight for you. Contact us today to discuss your case and explore your legal options.

When Is Federal Litigation Necessary?

Challenging a federal agency is a significant step, but it is often the only way to achieve a just outcome. Here are common situations where we pursue federal litigation:

• Unreasonable Application Delays: When your application for a green card, citizenship, or another benefit has been pending for an unreasonable amount of time, you may need legal help for immigration delays. We can file a mandamus action to compel immigration decisions, which is a lawsuit that asks a federal court to order the agency to act on your case.
• Unjust Denials: If USCIS or another agency denies your application based on an incorrect interpretation of federal immigration law, we can file a lawsuit to have that decision reviewed and overturned.
• Unlawful Detention: If you or a loved one is detained by ICE without legal justification or for a prolonged period, federal court is the proper venue to challenge the detention. This is often accomplished by filing a habeas corpus petition.
• Unfair Removal Orders: In certain circumstances, deportation orders issued by immigration courts can be challenged in federal circuit courts, especially if there are errors of law.
