    Where Is the Person Detained in Vermont?

    Vermont does not have a large ICE-only processing center. ICE may use state correctional facilities, and a person can be moved after the initial encounter. Start with the current facility, not the arrest city.

    Not Sure Where the Person Is Now?

    Use our step-by-step ICE locator guide. Search with the A-Number when available, or use the exact legal name and country of birth. A new custody record may not appear immediately.

    Arrest Location May Not Be the Detention Location

    Someone taken into ICE custody near St. Albans, Burlington, the Canadian border, or another Vermont community may be held at one of the locations above or transferred outside the state. Confirm the current facility before traveling, sending mail, or relying on visitation instructions.

    Detention Facility, ICE Office and Immigration Court Are Different

    These locations serve different purposes and may be in different cities.

    Detention Facility

    Where the person is held

    Use the current facility for custody, visitation and detainee-contact information.

    ICE ERO Office

    St. Albans, Vermont

    Handles certain custody and enforcement matters by appointment. It is not a detention center.

    Immigration Court

    Chelmsford, Massachusetts

    EOIR lists Chelmsford for detained Vermont cases. The official hearing notice and current EOIR record control.

    Bond Already Set?

    If an Immigration Bond Has Already Been Set

    If DHS, ICE, or an immigration judge has already set the bond amount, Amistad can explain the costs, collateral options, and documents needed to move forward. You do not need to travel to Vermont or the detention facility to begin the Amistad process.

    Amistad does not determine whether a bond is available or set the amount. Those decisions are made by the government or an immigration judge with jurisdiction.

    What to Have Ready

    • Detained person's full legal name
    • A-Number, if available
    • Current detention facility, if confirmed
    • Bond amount, if already set

    Start with what you have. Amistad will explain what is still needed.

    Ready to Get Started?

    Amistad can review your information and help you begin the bond process remotely.

    Compare Your Options

    You may compare paying the full amount directly through the government's CeBONDS cash process with Amistad's immigration surety bond options. Costs, collateral, eligibility, and approval requirements depend on the option and the individual bond.

    How Amistad Helps

    After the bond information, application, payment or collateral, and agreement requirements are complete, Amistad confirms the bond through ICE eBonds and submits the approved surety bond electronically.

    1

    Confirm Bond Info

    We review the person's name, A-Number, current facility and bond amount.

    2

    Review Application

    We explain the requirements and collateral options before you agree.

    3

    Complete Documents

    The application and bond agreement can be handled remotely.

    4

    Submit the Bond

    Amistad submits the surety bond electronically through ICE eBonds.

    ICE reviews the submission and the detention facility coordinates release. Processing and release timing vary and cannot be guaranteed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. ICE recommends the A-Number search when the number is available. Without it, use the exact legal name and country of birth, with the date of birth when available.

    Ready to Post the Bond?

    If the bond amount has been set, call with whatever information you have. The person's full name, A-Number, current detention location, and bond amount are the most helpful details.

    Amistad Bail Bonds provides immigration bond services and is not a law firm. Bond eligibility and amounts are determined by DHS, ICE, or an immigration judge. Consult a licensed immigration attorney for advice about an individual case.
