Connecticut Immigration Bonds
If someone you know was taken into ICE custody in Connecticut, first confirm where they are being held now. If ICE or an Immigration Judge has already given you the bond amount, Amistad can explain the requirements and help you get started.
Where Is the Person Being Held?
Connecticut is different from states with large dedicated ICE detention centers. A person arrested by ICE in Connecticut may be held in a correctional setting or transferred to another facility, including one outside Connecticut. That makes confirming the current location especially important.
Important: Do not assume that someone arrested in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford or Danbury is still being held in that city.
No Dedicated Connecticut ICE Processing Center Currently Listed
What this means: Someone arrested in Connecticut may be held in another correctional setting or transferred outside the state.
Find Current Detention LocationConnecticut Correctional Locations and Immigration Cases
Current EOIR information connects Hartford Immigration Court with several correctional settings involving noncitizens.
FCI Danbury
Danbury, Connecticut
Federal prison. Not a dedicated ICE detention center.
Connecticut DOC / York Correctional Institution
Niantic, Connecticut
State correctional custody. Not an ICE processing center.
Transfers Can Cross State Lines
EOIR currently identifies Franklin County House of Correction in Greenfield, Massachusetts specifically for ICE detainees within Hartford Immigration Court's administrative structure. This is one reason a Connecticut arrest does not necessarily mean the person will remain detained in Connecticut.

Confirm Separately Through ICE
Court location does not tell you where the person is detained.
A person may be arrested in Connecticut, be held or transferred somewhere else, and still have an immigration case connected with Hartford Immigration Court. The person's current hearing notice and EOIR case information are the authoritative sources for confirming which court is handling the individual case.
