Understanding the Bond Process in Immigration Court
Eligibility for Bond

Judicial Assessment: Judges critically evaluate factors like criminal history, community ties, and potential flight risk.
Impact of Deportation Orders: Those with existing deportation orders typically face bond ineligibility.
Risk Considerations: The judge’s evaluation of flight risk and public safety concerns is pivotal in bond decisions.

Factors Influencing Bond Outcomes

Apprehensions at the Border: Usually leads to a denial of bond.
Significance of U.S. Residency: Demonstrated residency can influence bond decisions favorably.
Effect of Criminal History: Convictions, particularly DUIs, may result in bond denial due to perceived risks to community safety.

Bond Requirements and Criteria
Key Legal Considerations

Family Connections: The absence of close family in the U.S. may deem an individual a flight risk.
42b and Cancellation of Removal: While these criteria are vital, each case is subject to individual judicial review.
