MAINE IMMIGRATION BONDS

    Maine Immigration Bonds

    If someone you know was detained by ICE in Maine, first confirm where they are being held now. People arrested in Maine may be transferred outside the state. If ICE or an Immigration Judge has already set a bond amount, Amistad can explain what is needed and help you get started remotely.

    Where Is the Person Detained After an ICE Arrest in Maine?

    Maine currently does not have the same type of dedicated ICE processing center found in states such as Georgia, Arizona or Texas.

    ICE has historically used county and regional jails in Maine, but detention practices changed in 2026. For families, the most important step is now to confirm the person's current location before traveling.

    Arrested in Maine? Confirm Current Location First

    A person detained by ICE in Maine may be transferred to a facility in another state. That can happen quickly. The place where someone was arrested is therefore not enough to determine where they are currently being held.

    IMMIGRATION COURT

    Maine Detained Cases May Be Connected With a Court in Massachusetts

    Current EOIR administrative information places detained Maine matters within the structure of the Chelmsford Immigration Court in Massachusetts. EOIR currently lists both Cumberland County Jail and Two Bridges Regional Jail within Chelmsford's detained-case administrative structure.

    Chelmsford Immigration Court

    150 Apollo Drive, Suite 100
    Chelmsford, MA 01824

    Note: Being listed in Chelmsford's structure does not mean the person is physically detained in Massachusetts, nor does every Maine immigration case automatically go to Chelmsford. Always check the person's current hearing notice.

    Different locations. Different functions. Being arrested in Maine does not mean the detention facility or Immigration Court will be in Maine.

    Start with the ICE detainee locator. Someone arrested in Maine may be transferred outside the state, so confirm the current facility before traveling.
