Immigration Bond with a Criminal Conviction
When working with our detained clients, we represent them in bond hearings, and we work with the family members, as well, who are outside. One of the questions that frequently comes up is, “How do I pay an immigration bond?” The Department of Homeland Security is the party that you would pay. They only accept cashier’s checks or money orders. This must be made payable to the Department of Homeland Security. You need to remember, the Department of Homeland Security will not take cash, personal checks, or credit cards to pay an immigration bond. The good news is that there are many ICE bond acceptance facilities throughout the country that will accept these bond payments.

Hiring an Attorney for an Immigration Bond
Just the other day we received a phone call from a family member who is currently detained at one of the detention facilities here in the United States. One of the questions that came up was, “Should I get an immigration attorney to help us get a bond?” Our answer to that question is, yes, you definitely should— for two reasons.
First of all, if you are going to ask ICE for an administrative bond, ICE won’t even communicate to the family members in many cases; they will only communicate with an immigration attorney who will then try to negotiate a bond. If the case is in front of the immigration judge, you only get one opportunity to ask for a bond, and the responsibility to prove eligibility – not a danger to the community and not a flight risk – the responsibility to prove those two things is on the person asking for the bond. Also, there is a highly skilled, highly trained attorney that represents the Department of Homeland Security whose job it is to prove to the judge that the judge should not enter a bond or, in the alternative, enter a very high expensive bond.
Should you get an immigration attorney? You absolutely should. If you have any questions about immigration bonds or any other immigration matters, give us a call. We would love to answer your questions.
Immigration Bond Eligibility Requirements
Recently we received a phone call from a family member of a loved one who was recently arrested by ICE and taken into custody. The individual was being detained in one of the detention centers here in the United States. While talking with this family member about the possibilities, one of the possibilities that we mentioned was an immigration bond. The question naturally is, “What is an immigration bond?”
An immigration bond is usually an amount of money that is held by the Department of Homeland Security. This money is held in security. This money tells the Department of Homeland Security that, if the individual is released, they will show up in court every single time and will not commit any crimes and that they’re not a flight risk or a danger to the community. This bond is usually returned to the person that pays it at the end of the case. If the person does not show up in court or if they get in trouble, it is possible that the Department of Homeland Security can keep this money.
