More than 20,000 people entered ICE detention in January 2024. For the detainees, this can turn into a frightening, confusing time. Getting out of ICE custody can seem impossible.
It doesn't have to turn out that way. Many detainees can start the immigration bonding process, get out of ICE custody, and start preparing for what comes next.
Do you know how to secure an immigration bond? Do you understand the rights of detainees in ICE custody? Keep reading for more information on immigration bonding.
Immigration bonding involves giving the government money to guarantee that a detainee will show up to necessary immigration proceedings. This will secure the release of the detainee. Once all immigration proceedings have ended, the government returns the money.
Any person with legal U.S. citizenship status or permanent residency can serve as an immigration bond sponsor. Law firms and non-profit organizations also sometimes post bond on behalf of detainees. More often a friend or loved one of the detainee will post bond.
Not all detainees can post bond to get released. Some cases fall under mandatory detention requirements, and in other cases, the ICE officer or judge will decide that allowing the individual out on bond could lead to additional criminal offenses or a flight risk. Different immigration issues lead to different results.
The amount required for an immigration bond can seem impossible to reach. That's why most people turn to an immigration bonding company to seek help.
Immigration bond companies charge a fee, sometimes called a premium. In exchange, the bond company gives the government the money necessary to secure the release of the detainee.
Immigration bond companies also request collateral. Collateral can be any valuable piece of property that the immigration bond company agrees to accept. Different bond companies will have different requirements, though many accept real property, homes, and land.
The most common ICE bonds include delivery bonds and voluntary departure bonds. A delivery bond indicates, as mentioned earlier, that the individual will attend all necessary proceedings. A voluntary departure bond instead shows that the detainee intends to leave the country by a set date without further proceedings.
After you secure the detainee's release, contact an immigration lawyer. Sorting out immigration issues takes time, effort, and expertise. A lawyer will have experience with immigration hearings and know what will serve you and your loved ones best.
Those who choose a voluntary release bond should begin preparation to leave the country. Failure to depart on time will lead to forfeiture of the money and any property used as collateral.
If ICE has detained you or a loved one, pursue immigration bonding right away. You will have an easier time finding competent legal help once you secure your release.
