Bond proceedings

Bond proceedings in the context of deportation and removal involve a legal process where an individual in immigration custody seeks to secure their release while their case is being resolved. The individual can ask an immigration judge to set a bond amount, which is a financial guarantee that they will attend future hearings. If granted, the individual pays this bond to be released from detention. The bond amount is determined based on factors like flight risk and criminal history, and a bond hearing is an opportunity to present evidence and arguments for release.
