How an immigration bond is set
- Detention.
The person is held at an ICE facility or a contracted county jail. In our region, detainees are often moved out of state, so the first job is confirming where they are. - Custody determination.
ICE decides whether the person is eligible for bond and sets an amount, or an immigration judge sets one at a bond hearing requested by the person’s attorney. The federal minimum is $1,500; amounts of $5,000 to $25,000 or more are common. - Posting.
A delivery bond guarantees the person will attend all immigration hearings. It can be paid in full to ICE by a qualifying individual, or posted through a bail agent appointed by a surety company approved for immigration bonds. - Release.
Once ICE accepts the bond, the person is released, usually within hours, sometimes the next business day depending on the facility.
- Detention.
Wondering how to pay an immigration bond? You can pay the full amount directly to ICE if you qualify, or use a federal surety agent like Champion who charges a premium and handles the federal paperwork.
