Immigration Bail Bonds

Immigration bail bonds are different from state and local bail bonds.  Immigration bail bonds are for individuals who are being detained by I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).  These are federal bonds and must be posted by a bond company that has the ability to post federal immigration bail bonds.

Immigration Bonds Info

Did you know that most immigrants who are undocumented are eligible for immigration bonds?  Of course there are exceptions, but for the most part detainees are eligible for immigration bonds as long as they meet certain requirements.  If your family member or loved one has been detained by the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement then in order for them to be released while awaiting their hearing, the ICE Form I-352 (Immigration Bond Ford) will need to be posted.

The purpose of an immigration bond provide essentially the same guarantee as other bail bonds in that their purpose is to guarantee the appearance of the immigrant to all court hearings while their case is open.  Additionally, it is a guarantee that the detainee will abide by the final decision made by the courts.
