Immigration
bonds are a form of federal bond that are typically
set for detainees held by the Bureau of Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pending a hearing or
court appearance.
Immigration
bonds are similar to state and federal bonds in the
respect that they are designed to guarantee the
appearance of the individual to all court proceedings
and bonds posted for immigration charges are also
subject to immediate forfeiture should the arrested
individual not appear in court. But they are also
different in several ways, as described below.
Unlike
state and federal bonds, the only release options for
INS detainees are: 1) cash bond paid directly to the
Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (click
here for field office locations), or 2) surety bond
through a bail bondsman licensed to handle immigration
bonds.
Immigration
bonds present additional difficulties for the bail
bondsman because in addition to the normal bail bonds
licensing requirements, a casualty insurance license
is required for a bail bondsman to handle immigration
bonds. Some bail bondsmen have found additional
immigration bond difficulties to include language
barriers and working within the operation hours of the
immigration and naturalization service. As a result of
the additional difficulties and licensing
requirements, immigration bonds tend to be more
expensive than state and federal bonds. Premiums range
from 15% to 20%, depending on the collateral used. At
