Immigration Arrest Defense in Tijuana – Legal Help When You Need It Most

Tijuana is one of Mexico’s busiest border cities, and with the constant flow of migrants, travelers, and asylum seekers, immigration arrests are common. Whether you are detained at the San Ysidro border crossing, in a migrant shelter, or during a checkpoint operation, being arrested by immigration authorities in Mexico can be a traumatic and confusing experience — especially for non-Mexican nationals.

At Justicia Transparente, our experienced immigration attorneys provide immediate and strategic legal defense to individuals arrested for immigration-related issues in Tijuana. We act quickly to protect your freedom, regularize your status when possible, and prevent illegal deportation.

Detained by Immigration Authorities in Tijuana?

If you or a loved one has been detained by INM (Instituto Nacional de Migración) or the National Guard, time is critical. Immigration arrests in Mexico can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

Lack of valid immigration documents
Suspicion of false paperwork or forged visas
Expired tourist or humanitarian permits
Transit through Mexico without proper documentation
Being mistakenly identified or reported

Our bilingual legal team intervenes from the moment of arrest, contacting the corresponding INM station, local prosecutor’s office, or migrant holding center in Tijuana. We advocate for your release, ensure your rights are respected, and take legal steps to avoid abuses or rushed deportation.

What Makes Our Immigration Defense Unique

With over 13 years of experience, Justicia Transparente has handled hundreds of cases involving migrants, asylum seekers, and foreign nationals in Baja California. Our lawyers understand the complex legal and political framework surrounding immigration in Mexico, especially in border cities like Tijuana.

Our approach combines:

Strategic legal planning: We assess the facts of the arrest and immediately explore legal remedies, including amparos (constitutional protections).
Human treatment and transparency: We keep families informed at all times and ensure you’re never left in the dark about your case.
Bilingual representation: We communicate with clients and families in English or Spanish, depending on your preference.
Emergency assistance: We offer urgent consultations via WhatsApp and phone, especially for foreigners unfamiliar with Mexican law.

Amparo Against Deportation – Your Legal Shield

In many immigration arrest cases, we can file a federal amparo to stop deportation or detention orders. This legal tool is a constitutional protection that temporarily freezes government action, giving us time to challenge unlawful detention, document errors, or discrimination.

The amparo is especially useful in cases involving:

U.S. citizens or residents mistakenly detained
Victims of document theft or fraud
Refugees and asylum seekers in legal limbo
Detentions without legal basis

By working with Justicia Transparente, you can rest assured that your case will be treated with urgency, professionalism, and human dignity.

How Do I Know If I Have An Arrest Warrant Before I Am Arrested?

Legally, the only way in which we can know if they are looking for us is by requesting an amparo, an amparo so that we can be informed if there is an arrest warrant against the complainant who has been accused or accused of a crime. .

Esta es la única manera por que evidentemente al solicitar una orden de aprehensión el ministerio público viene actuando en secrecía, es decir todavía no cita al imputado para efectos de que comparezca a alguna diligencia ministerial, esto es porque evidentemente lo que quieren es capturarlo.

En la práctica pasa algo en donde pueden estar ustedes muy alerta, en muchas de las ocasiones se gira una orden de aprehensión en contra de un imputado, etc., y el ministerio público les envía un citatorio a la persona para efectos de que acudan al ministerio público y ahí le ejecutan la orden de aprehensión se la cumplimentan.

a veces este tipo de actividades o este tipo de acciones pueden dificultar un poco la defensa del imputado, entonces aquí lo que recomendamos es que si sienten que los están buscando si ya han ido los policías a buscarlos busquen asesoría de un abogado penalista para efectos de que pueda solicitar un amparo contra orden de aprehensión y que lo puedan apoyar.

What Should I Do If I Receive A Subpoena From The Prosecutor's Office As An Accused Of A Crime? With These 6 Questions You Can Solve It

What is a subpoena from the Prosecutor’s Office and why are they citing me?

It is a mandate carried out by the Public Ministry or the Prosecutor who is investigating a crime against a person for the purpose of the latter appearing before the Public Ministry, this to carry out an act within the process, an act of investigation that must be carried out the Public Ministry; and for this, there are two types of subpoenas.

The first of them is a summons which is issued by justice by agreements, this type of summons has the particularity that it is an appointment for the purpose of trying to fix it, you will be able to see in the summons that you are going as a guest, that’s because a person who claims to be a victim of a crime is accusing you of having committed it, in this sense you are going as a guest, for this you have to deal with crimes that can occur or that can be resolved through a reparation agreement, that is, through a figure in which the Public Prosecutor’s Office can be the one in control, control of the agreement, accept it and in due course, in case it is complied with, the non-exercise of criminal action is decreed right there.

The second is a summons that is sent to you by the investigating Public Ministry, unlike the other summons in this situation, you are already being ordered so that you go to the Public Ministry so that the Public Ministry performs an act since They are investigating you, that is, you are already being treated as accused, and the Public Ministry considers that you should be considered accused, that you are being investigated and from that moment on is when you have to appear at the summons, obviously in case the citation is well done and meets other requirements that we are going to show you in the following questions.
