When a loved one is detained by ICE, paying their immigration bond quickly is the fastest way to secure their release. You have two reliable options:
- Pay the full bond online at the official CEBonds.ICE.gov portal (if you have the funds).
- Use a bail bondsman, such as Speedy Immigration Bail Bonds, to pay a fraction of the cost.
This guide explains both methods step-by-step, allowing you to choose the best path for your specific situation.
What Is an Immigration Bond?
An immigration bond is a payment to ICE that guarantees the detained person will attend all court hearings. If they comply, the money is refunded (for cash bonds).
Types of Immigration Bonds
- Cash Bond: Paid in full directly to ICE (refundable if court conditions are met).
- Surety Bond: Paid through a licensed bail bondsman—you pay only 15% as a non-refundable fee.
Option 1: Pay the Full Bond Online at CEBonds.ICE.gov
Who Can Use CEBonds.ICE.gov?
You must be:
✔ A U.S. citizen or a green card holder
