Washington Immigration Bonds
When someone you care about is detained by ICE, knowing what to do next can feel overwhelming. If ICE or an immigration judge has already set a bond, Amistad Bail Bonds can review the information, explain the requirements and help your family move forward.
Subject to approval.
First, Confirm the Detention and Bond Details
Before starting an immigration bond in Washington, gather as much information as possible about the person in custody:
If you do not know where the person is being held, begin with the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Having the correct location and A-Number helps us review the situation more efficiently.

Federal Bond Decision
- An immigration bond is different from a criminal bail bond issued through a Washington state court.
- ICE or an immigration judge determines whether a person may be released on bond and establishes the amount.
- A bail bond agency cannot decide eligibility, request a bond hearing or change the amount ordered.
- Release on bond does not close the immigration case.
Washington Context
- Our role begins after a bond has been set: reviewing the case, explaining financial requirements and coordinating posting.
- The person must continue attending required hearings and follow all instructions from ICE and the immigration court.
- Tacoma has a central role in Washington immigration detention cases.
- Each case must be confirmed individually.
Release on bond does not close the immigration case. The person must continue with the immigration process.
Helping Families Connected to ICE Custody in Tacoma
Tacoma has a central role in Washington immigration detention cases because the Northwest ICE Processing Center and the Tacoma Immigration Court operate at the same DHS-controlled detention facility.

However, not every person detained in Washington is held there, and each case must be confirmed individually.
Bond Acceptance Facilities
ICE currently lists bond acceptance facilities in Seattle, Tacoma and Yakima.

Washington Protections and Federal Bond Rules
Washington's Keep Washington Working Act limits how certain state and local agencies participate in civil immigration enforcement. These protections do not determine federal bond eligibility, set the bond amount or override an ICE or immigration court decision.
Questions about eligibility, detention classification or requesting a bond hearing should be discussed with a qualified immigration attorney.
