Immigration bonds are issued when someone is arrested for being in the US illegally. The bond ensures they will return for trial, with money or assets as collateral. Companies issue immigration bonds and may charge a commission or ask for security. If the accused fails to show up in court, bounty hunters may be employed.
Immigration bonds are bonds or securities issued when a person has been arrested for being illegally in the United States. In the United States, immigration is tightly controlled and it is a crime to be in the country without a valid visa, passport, green card, citizenship or other provision. If an individual is identified as a violation of immigration laws, they will be subject to prosecution and potential deportation by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Pending that trial, the person will either be held by ICE or be free to go until trial if they post bail.
Like criminal bail, immigration bail is designed to ensure that the person returns on the day of trial. When a person is arrested by ICE, ICE wants to ensure that he will return to stand trial and face penalties; as such, before the person is released, ICE wants you to offer him some type of security, in the form of money or assets. If he returns on the day of the trial, bail is released. If he doesn’t return, however, ICE may seize the money or assets and they may be forfeited.
For example, ICE may set a bond at $10,000 US Dollars (USD). This means that the individual or her family would have to pay $10,000 USD as collateral or as a guarantee that the defendant would return for trial. If the person accused of being an illegal immigrant shows up at their immigration trial or hearing, the $10,000 USD will be returned to the person who sent the money. If the person does not, the $10,000 USD will be lost.
Since many people cannot pay the entire bond on their own, companies issue immigration bonds. This means that a company will pay the money in exchange for guarantees or some type of commission or guarantee. A bail company may post immigration bonds but charge the person accused of being an illegal immigrant a percentage of the amount owed. The immigration bond company may also ask for security in the form of real estate, jewelry, or other valuables to ensure that the money is returned or that the person goes to court. If people who are issued immigration bonds fail to show up in court, the company employs bounty hunters or slavers to track people down.
