The East Hidalgo ICE detention center is located in the city of La Villa, Texas. It is located approximately 18 miles north-west of Harlingen, Texas. It has a capacity of 1,346 detainees. 

If you or someone you know has a case before the immigration court it will be important that any documents or evidence, be sent to this facility so that you avoid any delay, or potential negative impact, in your immigration case. 

Many types of cases can be requested before the Harlingen Immigration Court, including Bond Requests, Adjustment of Status, Cancellation of Removal for Legal and Non-Legal Permanent Residents, Removal of Conditions on Legal Permanent Residence, Asylum, NACARA, and Voluntary Departure, among others. Some of these cases require that you present evidence of your continued physical presence and good moral character.
