Is your loved one currently in immigration detention? If so, you may be able to get them released from custody by paying an immigration bond. How do I ask for an immigration bond?
First, it’s important to understand what an immigration bond is. An immigration bond is money paid to the government to guarantee that the released person will attend all future immigration court hearings.
How do you ask for an immigration bond? The first step is to speak to an immigration attorney. They can help you determine if you or your loved one is eligible for a bond and assist you in requesting it. If you do not have an attorney, you may be able to get a list of pro bono or low-cost attorneys from a local legal aid organization.
Once you have an attorney, they will file a bond request with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office that detains you or your loved one. The request should include information about the person’s ties to the community, their family situation, and any other factors that make them a low flight risk.
The ICE office or the Judge will then determine the bond request based on some factors, including the person’s flight risk, criminal history, and ties to the community. If the bond request is granted, the person or their family must pay the bond amount or use a bail bonds company before being released from detention.
If you or a loved one is in immigration detention, it’s important to act quickly and work with an experienced immigration attorney to request an immigration bond. With the proper legal representation, you may be able to secure a bond and be released from detention while your immigration case is pending.
