What the judge weighs at a bond hearing

Ties, stability, and a sponsor

The judge weighs family ties, a stable address, work history, community roots, and whether a sponsor with lawful status will take responsibility. A documented package — letters, proof of address, employment — moves every one of those factors in your loved one's favor.

The record decides the category

Certain criminal history triggers mandatory detention with no bond at all, and people stopped at the border face a different process. This is the first thing we analyze — so the family knows within the first review whether bond is realistic or the fight is a different one.

The bond itself: $1,500 minimum, refunded at the end

The legal minimum is $1,500; judges commonly set more depending on the case. It's paid in full at an ICE bond office by someone who can show lawful presence, and refunded at the end of the case when your loved one attends every hearing.
