Detainees in US detention centres

[ja_007]

Hi, I have a relative who illegally entered the United States through Mexico in 2013. Once they arrived in the US, they filed a case with the IC(immigration court) for a stay order in the country. Their case was denied and even applied for an appeal for the same case and in 2014 the appeal was denied also. Just last week, this relative of mine attended a court hearing at which they were detained and is now at a Atlanta, Georgia detention centre.

My question is; what can be done to have this person released from the detention centre(this individual doesn't have any crime history). And if we don't know yet anything about a set deportation date, how long can this person be kept in a detention centre?

Any or all help is much appreciated. Thank you.
