Immigration Bonds

Immigration bonds are a financial guarantee used to secure the release of individuals detained by immigration authorities while they await court hearings or decisions on their immigration status. When someone is detained, a bond allows them to be released from custody, provided they agree to attend all required immigration proceedings. The bond amount varies and is often set by an immigration judge or an officer. If the individual fails to attend their immigration hearings, the bond may be forfeited, meaning the government keeps the money. Essentially, it's a way to ensure compliance with immigration processes.
