The Process of Posting an Immigration Bond
To post an immigration bond, you must first contact a licensed bail bond agent. You will then need to complete some paperwork and pay a fee, usually 15% of the total bond amount. For example, if the bond is $5,000, you must pay $750 upfront.
Once the agent receives the fee and completes all necessary paperwork, they will post the bond with ICE. The detainee will then be released from detention and provided with a date for their Immigration Court hearing.
It is important to note that posting an immigration bond is a serious matter. If the detainee fails to appear for their scheduled court appearances, the court may forfeit the entire bond amount. This means you would be responsible for paying the full $5,000, not just the $750 fee you initially paid to the bail bondsman.
