Review Bond RequirementsAn immigration bond for someone detained in Pennsylvania is part of the federal immigration process, not Pennsylvania state or county criminal bail. The person’s detention facility and immigration court may even be in different states, so confirming the current facility and case information is important.
For a complete explanation of the process, payment and collateral options, and what happens after a bond is submitted, learn how immigration bonds work.
ICE uses different types of detention facilities across Pennsylvania — a dedicated immigration processing center, county correctional facilities, and a federal correctional institution. Choose the city or facility you recognize below. If you only know where the person was taken into custody — or you’re not sure where they were transferred — use our detainee locator guide first.
555 GEO Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866
A secure immigration processing center used specifically to house ICE detainees.
175 Pike County Boulevard, Lords Valley, PA 18428
A county-operated correctional facility that also houses people in ICE custody.
58 Pine Mountain Road, McElhattan, PA 17748
A county correctional facility used for local, federal and immigration detention.
2400 Robert F. Miller Drive, Lewisburg, PA 17837
A federal correctional institution that EOIR currently includes within its detained immigration case structure. Because this is not a dedicated ICE processing center, confirm the person's current immigration custody status before relying on facility-specific information.
Someone taken into ICE custody in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Scranton or another Pennsylvania community may later be detained somewhere else. Confirm the current facility before traveling, sending mail or relying on facility-specific information.
If you don't know where the person is or don't have the A-Number, our guide walks you through the search process step by step.

Where the person is physically being held.
Handles certain federal immigration custody and enforcement matters.
Handles the person's immigration case.
This is especially important in Pennsylvania. Current EOIR administrative information connects the Pennsylvania detention facilities listed on this page with Elizabeth Immigration Court in New Jersey. That can be confusing for a family seeing the system for the first time: the person may be physically detained in Pennsylvania while the detained immigration case is administratively connected with a court in another state.

Depending on the payer’s eligibility and circumstances, the full amount may be paid through the government’s process. Amistad’s surety bond option may be secured with cash collateral or qualifying property collateral. Review the costs, responsibilities and collateral requirements before deciding.
Compare Payment OptionsIf you are considering-3 property as collateral, Amistad can review the property and explain whether it may qualify under current underwriting requirements. Property details and available equity are considered as part of the review.
Check My PropertyOnce the application, payment, collateral and agreement requirements are complete, Amistad prepares the surety bond documents, submits the bond electronically through ICE eBonds and stays in contact while DHS processes the submission. Amistad does not decide whether a bond is available or set the amount.
