How To Request A Bond Hearing And Seek Release From Detention

If you are detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), you may be eligible for release on bond. A bond hearing allows an immigration judge to decide whether to grant release and set an appropriate bond amount.

To request a bond hearing, you or your attorney must file a motion with the immigration court. In some cases, the ICE may offer a bond without a hearing, but if denied or set too high, you can request a judge’s review. A lawyer can present arguments and evidence supporting your request, increasing your chances of securing a fair bond.

Factors That Influence Bond Amounts

When deciding on a bond, an immigration judge considers several key factors, including:

● Flight risk: The judge assesses whether you are likely to attend future hearings or if you may fail to appear. Strong community ties, family support and a history of compliance with legal obligations can help demonstrate reliability.
● Criminal record: A judge will review any prior convictions or pending charges. A serious criminal history may reduce the likelihood of receiving a bond.
● Immigration history: Previous immigration violations, such as deportation orders or unlawful reentries, can impact the bond decision.
● Eligibility for relief: If you have a strong case for asylum, cancellation of removal or other relief, you may be more likely to receive bond.
● Community support: Letters from employers, family or religious organizations can demonstrate stability and good moral character.

Every case is unique, and having an attorney advocate for your release can significantly affect the outcome.
