What Are Immigration Bonds New Mexico?
Immigration bail bonds in the state of New Mexico are, in essence, similar to a regular bail bond or "surety bond."
When someone gets arrested, posting bail is one way to get them out of jail. Bail is a set amount of money a judge deems an appropriate amount for the accused to pay for their release.
Because the amount is usually high, a friend or family member enlists the service of a bail bondsman.
A bondsman may ask for collateral to secure the bond. They also charge 10% which isn't refundable.
But, this bond is the insurance that after their release, the accused will show up at their court date.
Immigration bail bonds work along the same lines. There are two types of immigration bail bonds:
Delivery bond - ICE or an immigration judge determines the eligibility of a detained immigrant to seek a delivery bond. ICE will give the detainee an arrest warrant and a notice of custody conditions.
This bond is the insurance that they'll show up to their immigration hearing.
They're able to be with their families and consult or hire an immigration attorney. This type of bond is almost like a regular surety bond.
Voluntary departure bond - Sometimes, detainees have the option to leave the country voluntarily. They must do this at their own expense by a set date.
This bond is fully-refundable if they leave the U.S. by the date on the bond. If they don't, ICE keeps the entirety of the bond.
How Much Do They Cost?
Either ICE or a judge sets the bond amount. For a delivery bond, the price starts around $1,500. It can increase to $10,000 or more, depending on the results of a risk assessment.
A voluntary departure bond is much lower. Usually, the minimum is set at $500.
It's important to note that it can take up to a year for the person who posted the bond to receive their money. They will only get refunded if the detainee attends all court proceedings.
The No-Bond Detention Law
While this sounds pretty cut and dry, there is a caveat.
In 2016, New Mexico Legislature passed a law that gave judges the authority to deny bail to "proven dangerous defendants." It doesn't matter how much the detained immigrant can pay to buy a bail bond.
Part of that law also stipulates that a detainee who isn't dangerous nor a flight risk can't be held in jail only because they can't pay for a bail bond.
What Should You Do?
If ICE detained a loved one, there are two calls you should make.
The first is to an immigration bond agent. The second is to an immigration attorney.
A reputable and experienced immigration bond agent will walk you through the process. They'll explain ways collateral options for the bond.
They'll also give you an estimated timeline so you know what to expect.

Just wanted to thank you and your colleges for your good work on bailing out my wife. I found you guys on the internet and had reservations about this whole process, with it being much more complicated than a regular bail bond. Your company does know what they are doing and your insurance company is properly liscensed to perform Immigration bonds as referenced on the Dept. of Justice's list of certified surety companies. Everyone was quick to take my calls, answer my questions and respond to my emails. Just wanted to say thanks and hope that everything concludes happily for me and my family.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to write to you, but life has been very hectic since we last spoke. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your help and support during the time I was going through the process of obtaining an Immigration Bond. This was all new to me and as you know, it was also very stressful for me. But you were very patient with me, and guided me through all the steps of the process to a successful conclusion. No matter how many times I called you, you always took the time to help me and I never felt rushed or pressured. I'm sure you give this wonderful service to all your clients and I hope they appreciate you as much as I do. I hope to never have the need for this type of service again, but I will never forget your kindness and empathy. Many, many "Thanks" and "Good Luck" to you in all you do.
