A bond hearing is a court proceeding before an immigration judge to determine whether a detained immigrant may be released from ICE custody while their immigration case is pending.

During the hearing, the judge decides:

• Whether the person qualifies for bond
• The amount of the bond
• Whether the individual presents a flight risk or danger to the community

A strong presentation can significantly improve the chances of release.

Many detained immigrants may qualify for bond, including individuals who:

• Have no serious criminal history
• Have family ties in the United States
• Have lived in the U.S. for many years
• Have pending immigration relief such as asylum or adjustment of status
• Can demonstrate good moral character

Some individuals may be subject to mandatory detention, but legal review is important because eligibility may still exist depending on the circumstances.

At the New York Immigration Center, we prepare strong bond hearing presentations by gathering evidence that demonstrates why release is appropriate.

We assist with:

• Preparing bond hearing requests
• Collecting supporting documentation
• Presenting evidence of family and community ties
• Demonstrating eligibility for immigration relief
• Arguing against claims of flight risk or danger
• Requesting lower bond amounts
• ICE custody and detention review
