How Can an Attorney Help Me Secure Bond from ICE Facilities? 

If you or someone close to you has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), you may have the opportunity to secure an immigration bond. This bond allows the detainee to be released while they await further proceedings. However, the process can be daunting without proper legal assistance. 

An immigration attorney can play a crucial role in helping you apply for a bond, especially considering the intricate and specific requirements involved. It’s the detainee’s responsibility to prove they are not a flight risk or public danger. The government usually presents their own evidence to argue against release, making it vital that you or your family member submit compelling evidence to support your case. 

Attorneys are skilled at streamlining this process by collecting, translating, and organizing evidence and documents. They can also provide vital support in preparing for bond hearings, navigating procedural rules, and responding to denials through appeals.

The stakes are high when loved ones are detained. Having an experienced hand to help with filing bond paperwork and gathering crucial evidence can make all the difference. 

We Can Help You Secure Fair Immigration Bond Amounts 

How Much Do Immigration Bonds Cost in Las Vegas? 

Immigration bond amounts vary significantly depending on the circumstances of the individual, starting at $1,500 and going as high as $50,000. Ultimately, the bond amount depends on specific factors evaluated by the court. 

Additionally, indemnitors, or those who agree to post bond on behalf of the detainee, must also pay a non-refundable 15 percent bond premium for any immigration bond in Nevada. This added cost can create financial stress, which is why it’s important to work with an attorney who can help argue for fair bond terms. 

How Are Immigration Bond Amounts Determined? 

The immigration judge or ICE makes determinations about bond amounts based on several considerations, including: 

• Immigration Status. Whether the detainee has legal immigration standing or is undocumented. 
• Criminal History. Past charges or convictions, especially for serious crimes, can impact bond amounts. 
• Employment Status. Stable employment can demonstrate ties to the community and reduce concerns about flight risks. 
• Family Ties. Evidence of family connections and responsibilities can also influence bond determinations. 

Our team gathers this vital information and presents it persuasively during proceedings to argue for favorable outcomes. 

Are You Eligible for an Immigration Bond in Las Vegas? 

One of the first questions families ask is whether their loved one qualifies for an immigration bond. While most immigrants are eligible for bond, there are some exceptions. 

Those likely to qualify include undocumented individuals, foreign citizens, green card holders, and asylum seekers. Eligibility hinges on demonstrating that the detainee is neither a flight risk nor a danger to the public. However, certain factors can disqualify someone from securing a bond, such as charges for aggravated felonies, crimes involving controlled substances, or offenses deemed threats to national security.

What Happens During an Immigration Bond Hearing? 

Bond hearings are where eligibility and amount determinations are made. During the hearing, detainees must present evidence that convincingly shows they meet the requirements for release. An immigration judge listens to all presented information, including input from ICE, which often argues against granting bond. 

At this stage, the assistance of a lawyer is critical. Attorneys know what type of documents and evidence appeal to judges and can help ensure your case is presented to its fullest potential. Demonstrating strong ties to the community, like consistent employment or family responsibilities, can greatly improve the chances of securing bond approval. 

What’s the Difference Between Delivery Bonds & Voluntary Departure Bonds? 

There are two main types of immigration bonds to consider, each serving a unique purpose based on the individual's situation:

• Delivery Bonds - These are the most common. They allow detainees to be released on the condition that they attend all scheduled court proceedings. Delivery bonds enable immigrants to reunite with their families and plan their cases without the restrictions of detention. 
• Voluntary Departure Bonds - These are issued when a detainee agrees to leave the country voluntarily by a specified date. These bonds are refunded once the individual complies with the departure requirements. 

Each type of bond serves a specific purpose, and the right choice depends on the individual’s legal strategy and circumstances.
