Review Bond RequirementsWhat Families in Washington Need to Know
An immigration bond is a financial guarantee that may allow an eligible person to leave ICE custody while their case continues. It is part of the federal immigration system and is separate from bail in a Washington criminal case.

Where Is the Person Detained in Washington?

Someone taken into ICE custody in Seattle, Spokane, or another Washington community may be held in Tacoma or transferred elsewhere, including outside the state. Confirm the current location before traveling or sending mail.
Three Places Families Often Confuse
Detention facility
Where the person is held. Contact the facility about visits and its day-to-day rules.
ICE field office
Handles immigration custody and enforcement matters. An office address is not necessarily a detention location.
Immigration court
Handles the immigration case. Tacoma and Seattle have separate immigration courts; the person's hearing-3 notice identifies the court handling their case.
For someone held at NWIPC, see the Tacoma facility and court guide.

Compare Ways to Pay
If you meet the government's requirements, you may pay the full bond directly to ICE. Amistad also offers bond options backed by cash or a qualifying home. These involve service fees and collateral—money or property used to secure the bond.
How Amistad Helps
We explain the terms and prepare the documents. Once the application, payment, and collateral requirements are complete, we submit the bond through ICE eBonds, ICE's electronic bond system. ICE processes the submission, and the facility coordinates release.
