At Speedy Immigration Bail Bonds, we understand that dealing with immigration issues can be stressful and overwhelming. If a loved one is detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), one option to secure release is through an immigration bail bond. We will explain how immigration bail bonds work, what you need to know before getting one, and how we can help you.
What is an Immigration Bail Bond?
An immigration bail bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees a person’s appearance in an immigration court. If ICE detains an individual, a bond can be posted to secure their release from custody while their immigration case is pending. An immigration judge sets the bond amount, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on factors such as the person’s flight risk and criminal history.
How Do Immigration Bail Bonds Work?
To post an immigration bail bond, you must work with a licensed agent specializing in immigration bonds. Speedy Immigration Bail Bonds will assess the bond amount and the collateral required, whether cash, property or a combination of both. The agent will then charge a non-refundable fee for their services, usually 15% of the bond amount.
Once the bond is posted, the detained individual is released from custody and can return to their home or work while their case is pending. However, the release is subject to conditions, such as regularly checking in with the bond agent and attending all immigration court hearings. If the person fails to comply with the requirements or misses a court hearing, the bond can be forfeited, and the person can be re-detained by ICE.
What You Need to Know Before Getting an Immigration Bail Bond
Before getting an immigration bail bond, you need to consider the following:
- Eligibility: Not everyone is eligible for an immigration bail bond. If the person has a criminal record, is deemed a flight risk, or has a prior immigration violation, they may not be eligible for a bond. In such cases, the person can be detained until their case is resolved.
- Cost: The cost of an immigration bail bond can be high, depending on the bond amount and the collateral required. Before deciding, you should shop for different bond agents and compare their fees and services..
- Risks: Posting a bond is risky, as the collateral could be lost if the person fails to comply with the conditions or misses a court hearing. Before getting one, you should understand the risks and consequences of forfeiting the bond.
