How Can I Get an Immigration Bond?
Posted on Jul 13, 2017 11:35am PDT
Immigration bonds are federal bonds used for detainees being held by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Much like bail bonds, immigration bonds
exist to guarantee a defendant’s appearance at court proceedings.
If you’re planning on
posting bail in Upper Marlboro for an immigration detainee, then it’s important to know that the
only options for release are cash bonds posted through ICE and surety
bonds posted through a licensed bail bondsman.
First, the immigration detainee must be eligible for an immigration bond,
and it’s ideal to consult a lawyer in this regard. Then, if the
person meets all eligibility criteria, the immigration judge and ICE must
decide to offer an immigration bond. If there is no bond or if the amount
is too high, then consider having your attorney request a reasonable bond
amount from ICE. If this request is not granted, then you can ask to have
a bond hearing with an immigration judge. To pay for your immigration
bond, you can hire the services of a bail bondsman or pay the full amount
directly to ICE.
