[tx] Ice Detained Both Of My Parents Today. What Can I Do?

Today, ICE detained both of my parents while we were driving home in the Harlingen/Brownsville area of Texas.

My parents entered the U.S. legally about 9 years ago but overstayed their visas. I’m in the same situation.

One of the officers told my dad, “I could take all three of you, but I’m doing you a favor by letting your daughter go.” They took both of my parents and let me return home.

I’m terrified, overwhelmed, and honestly have no idea what to do. I don’t understand how the immigration process works, what happens after ICE takes someone, or what rights my parents have. I also don’t have money to hire an attorney, which makes everything even scarier.

Does this mean they’ll be deported? Can they request bond or fight deportation? How can I find them or get free legal help? Could ICE come back for me?

I don’t know if they had any previous removal orders. I’m scared of losing my parents and just want to understand what happens next and what I can do to help them. Any advice would mean a lot. Thank you.
