If a person is detained by immigration customs enforcement (ICE) or customs border protection (CBP), there are avenues to apply for a release (bond) while the person awaits his/her removal proceedings. Both ICE and CBP can grant a parole bond or release the person under certain conditions (e.g. signature, ankle monitor, etc). If the government denies release/bond, the detained person may nevertheless have the option of filing a request for release on bond with an immigration judge (known as a motion for Bond Redetermination). The person must make a showing through a presentation at a bond hearing that he/she is not a danger to the community, is not a flight risk, has relief available, and that the judge has jurisdiction to rule on the person’s application for bond release. It is important to hire counsel expediently since bond hearings are not mandatory and immigrants will typically have only one opportunity to make their case in front of an immigration judge.
