Immigration Detention? We Fight for Your Freedom

Immigration Bond Proceedings: Fighting For Release From Detention

If you or a loved one has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), securing release is often the top priority. In many cases, detainees may be eligible for release on bond while their immigration case proceeds.

At Reana Garcia Law Group, we assist detained immigrants and their families in New Jersey with immigration bond hearings. We work quickly and strategically to present strong arguments for release, reunite families, and restore peace of mind.

What Is An Immigration Bond?

An immigration bond is a financial payment made to the U.S. government that allows a detained non-citizen to be released from ICE custody while removal proceedings are ongoing. The bond also ensures the individual will appear at all future court dates.

A bond is not guaranteed. You must demonstrate that you:

• Are not a flight risk
  
• Are not a danger to the community
  
• Are eligible for relief from removal

Types Of Immigration Bond Hearings

Initial Bond Hearing

This is the first opportunity to request release. The immigration judge will consider:

• Your immigration history
• Family ties in the U.S.
• Employment status
• Criminal background
• Eligibility for relief (asylum, cancellation, etc.)

We prepare supporting documentation and advocate for a fair bond amount—or release without bond in eligible cases.

Bond Redetermination Hearing

If a bond was denied or set too high, we can request a second hearing to argue for:

• A reduced amount
• New evidence of hardship or eligibility
• Changed circumstances

We present legal and humanitarian arguments to show why detention is no longer justified.

Who Is Eligible For An Immigration Bond?

Not everyone qualifies for a bond. You may not be eligible if:

• You have certain criminal convictions
• You were previously ordered removed and reentered
• You fall under mandatory detention under immigration law

Even if ICE has said you’re not eligible, you may still qualify for a bond hearing before an immigration judge.

We evaluate your case and advise whether bond eligibility arguments or habeas corpus relief are appropriate.

Why Bond Hearings Matter

Being released on bond allows you to:

• Seek work authorization (in some cases)
• Avoid prolonged time in ICE custody

Detained individuals face higher removal rates and limited access to legal help. Bond can be a lifeline.
