An immigration bond is a payment that allows the release of an immigrant from ICE custody, ensuring their appearance at all future court hearings.
First, ICE sets a bond amount. Once paid, the individual is released, and the bond guarantees they will attend all immigration hearings.
There are two types: delivery bonds, allowing the detainee's release with the promise of attending court, and voluntary departure bonds, which ensure the individual voluntarily leaves the country within a set timeframe.
The bond amount varies depending on the detainee’s case. ICE typically sets the bond between $1,500 and $25,000, but the amount can be higher for certain cases.
The bond can be processed in a few hours or up to a couple of days depending on the complexity of the case and ICE’s response time.
Yes, a bond is refundable as long as the detainee meets all their court obligations. However, if they fail to appear in court, the bond will be forfeited.
If the detainee fails to attend court, the bond money is lost, and the person may be subject to immediate deportation.
Many bond companies, like Amistad, offer financing options where you can pay a percentage of the total bond and secure the detainee’s release.
