What Is An Immigration Bail Bond?

As long as the detainee is not considered a threat to public safety or national security, two types of bonds are available for illegal aliens in custody: the voluntary departure bond or the delivery bond. Let’s have a look at the Voluntary Departure bond first.

• • A voluntary departure bond allows the detainee to leave the country voluntarily. With this bond, the detainee is responsible for arranging and paying for their departure. Usually, they are given a specific date by which they need to leave. With this immigration bond, the amount paid in full is refundable once the detainee has left the country. However, the amount paid is no longer refundable if they fail to leave by the appointed date.
• • A delivery bond may be issued by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) or an immigration judge. With this type of bail bond, the detainee will receive an arrest warrant and a notice of custody conditions to be released on a delivery bond. This assures the detainee will appear at all their appointed court hearings. This is helpful because it allows the detainee to meet with an immigration lawyer and spend time with family before the court hearings.
