Tampa-Based Immigration Attorney Ahmad Yakzan Wins Freedom for Detained Client in El Paso Immigration Court
TEMPLE TERRACE, FL, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- American Dream Law Office PLLC Obtains Cancellation of Removal for Client Held in ICE Detention
Tampa-based immigration firm represented client before the El Paso Immigration Court
American Dream Law Office PLLC announced that an Immigration Judge in the El Paso Immigration Court has granted Cancellation of Removal to a client who had been held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention for approximately ten months. The decision orders the client’s release from detention and places her on a path to lawful permanent residency.
The case was litigated on the detained docket of the El Paso Immigration Court. Founding attorney Ahmad Yakzan and the legal team at American Dream Law Office PLLC represented the client throughout the proceedings, including the individual merits hearing.
Cancellation of Removal for certain non-permanent residents is a form of relief under Section 240A(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. To qualify, an applicant must establish (1) continuous physical presence in the United States for at least ten years, (2) good moral character during that period, (3) that removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child, and (4) the absence of certain disqualifying criminal convictions. More information on this form of relief is available through the Executive Office for Immigration Review at https://www.justice.gov/eoir.
The client is a survivor of domestic abuse and is the mother of U.S. citizen children. Her identity is being withheld to protect her privacy and safety.
“This outcome reflects the statutory hardship standard and the evidence presented at the individual hearing,” said Ahmad Yakzan, founder of American Dream Law Office PLLC. “We are pleased that the court granted relief and that our client will be reunited with her family.”
With the grant of Cancellation of Removal, the client is released from ICE custody, the proceedings against her are terminated with relief, and she becomes eligible to adjust to lawful permanent resident status.
