Individualized Immigration Bond Representation

Detention matters require close attention to the person’s immigration history, custody record, family circumstances, and prior bond decisions. We emphasize transparency and honest communication so families understand what we’re preparing and which issues may affect the request.

Our attorneys prepare bond packages, request review after an ICE denial when appropriate, represent clients in writing and at immigration bond hearings, and seek bond reductions when additional evidence supports the request. A bond package is a collection of documents and legal arguments presented in support of release.

Bond Requests with ICE

Your loved one may be eligible for release from detention on bond or, depending on the circumstances, for urgent humanitarian reasons. ICE may make an initial custody determination, which is its decision about detention and whether to set a bond.

ICE may have arrest reports, immigration records, or other information that presents only part of the person’s circumstances. Our attorneys regularly prepare and submit bond packages to ICE to present evidence supporting release, including information about the client’s family, residence, community connections, and other relevant circumstances.

An ICE decision isn’t necessarily the final opportunity for bond review. If the person isn’t subject to mandatory detention, which is detention required by law for certain cases, an Immigration Judge may have authority to consider a bond request. Eligibility depends on the person’s immigration history, manner of entry, criminal record, and other case-specific factors.

Bond Review by an Immigration Judge

When the immigration court has jurisdiction, our attorneys can request bond consideration from an Immigration Judge after an ICE denial. Bond proceedings are separate from removal proceedings, and a bond decision doesn’t resolve the underlying immigration case or any available form of immigration relief.

We represent detained clients in writing and at the bond hearing. The presentation may address whether the person is eligible for bond, poses a danger to people or property, is likely to appear for future proceedings, or presents a national-security concern.

Sometimes ICE or an Immigration Judge sets a bond that is too high. Our attorneys may be able to present evidence and testimony not previously presented and request a bond reduction, also called bond redetermination. Whether a lower amount is available depends on the evidence and the person’s circumstances.
