Immigration Detention & Bond Hearings

Immigration detention means that your loved one was picked up by immigration authorities (also known as ICE) and placed in an immigration detention facility or jail. In order for your spouse to be released from custody, he or she must request to have a bond hearing. ^[1] A bond hearing is where the judge will review the amount of bail set (or not set) by the ICE attorneys and decide the amount of money that must be paid in order for the immigrant to be released. The money that is paid is like a security deposit used to ensure the immigrant's appearance in immigration court. The judge will decide the amount of bond based on the public safety risk and flight risk posed by the immigrant.
