Can I get a bond if I'm detained by ICE?
Yes, you can get a bond if you’re detained by ICE, which stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. You can apply directly with ICE, and they will have discretion to release you if you have a sponsoring U.S. citizen family, that you release would be in the public interest or there’s humanitarian reasons for your release. The other option is to apply for a bond directly with the judge, and the minimum bond the judge could grant is $1,500. The things that the judge considers in granting bond is whether you’re a flight risk, whether you’re a danger to the community, whether you’re a threat to national security, and the likelihood that you would win your case.
