Immigration Bail Bonds Massachusetts provides individuals in the state with access to the funds necessary for their release from detention. These bonds guarantee a detainee’s appearance in court, allowing them to remain free while awaiting a final decision on their case. Depending on the bond amount, immigrants may have to provide collateral to secure it. Immigration bonds can come from an insurance company or a private bondsman, who often require some form of surety, such as a house or collateral. For an immigrant to get out of jail and be released pending his or her trial date, he or she must be able to pay an immigration bail bond that a federal judge sets. The fee typically ranges between $1,500 and $25,000 depending on the circumstances of the case and how high of a risk the judge deemed it. An immigration bond agent will post bail with an insurance company so that if the defendant fails to appear in court or absconds while released, they are responsible for paying back all money they’ve posted, including any interest accrued during its duration. Immigration bondsmen also offer flexibility in payment plans which can serve as invaluable lifelines for many detainees who otherwise would not have been able to afford release from ICE custody.
