ARKANSAS ICE BOND HELP

    Arkansas Immigration Bonds

    An immigration bond may allow someone to leave ICE custody while their case continues. If a bond has been set, Amistad can help you get started.

    CONFIRM LOCATION

    Where Is the Person Being Held?

    Someone arrested in Arkansas may be held in a county jail or transferred to an immigration detention facility outside the state, including Louisiana. Confirm the current location before traveling or sending mail.

    If You Know the County Jail

    Call to ask whether the person is still there or has been transferred.

    If the Person Is in ICE Custody

    Use the official ICE detainee locator. If you cannot find them, contact an ICE field office. A missing result does not confirm release.

    IMPORTANT

    Immigration Bonds and County Bail Are Different

    An immigration bond is part of the federal immigration system. Paying bail in an Arkansas criminal case does not automatically release someone from ICE custody. Confirm which bond amount you have before making a payment.

    Confirm which bond you have: county bail and the immigration bond are separate processes.

    If an Immigration Bond Has Been Set

    You can begin with Amistad by phone or online without traveling to the detention facility. Have these details ready if available:

    What to Have Ready

    • The person's full legal name
    • A-Number — their immigration identification number
    • Current detention facility
    • Immigration bond amount

    Understand Your Payment Options

    With Amistad, cash or a qualifying home may be used as security for the bond. This is called collateral. We explain the fees and paperwork before you decide.

    You may also pay the full amount directly to ICE if you meet its requirements.

    How Amistad Bail Bonds Helps

    Once the paperwork, payment, and collateral are ready, Amistad submits the bond electronically to ICE. ICE reviews the submission and coordinates release. Release times vary.
