Seeking release from detention
How does an immigration bond hearing work?
For many detained people who are not subject to mandatory detention, an immigration judge can set a bond at a hearing. The judge weighs whether the person is a flight risk and whether they are a danger to the community, considering family ties, employment, length of residence, and immigration and criminal history. If bond is granted and paid, the person is released while their removal case continues. Some cases involve mandatory detention where no bond is available, which is why an early eligibility check matters.
