Immigration Bond Lawyers · Miami · 24/7
Most Miami-Dade and Broward arrests go to Krome or the Broward Transitional Center; overflow moves to Glades, Baker, and out-of-state facilities in Louisiana and Texas. Krome's population has grown sharply since 2025, and conditions there are a reason to move fast on bond. The legal minimum immigration bond is $1,500; judges commonly set $5,000 to $10,000, and a complete bond packet is what brings the number down.

Every day in detention matters. Our attorneys request bond hearings nationwide and know how to present ties, sponsorship, and evidence the way judges expect. We can often move within days.
Disclaimer: Bond amounts are set by immigration judges and vary widely by jurisdiction, judge, and individual circumstances. Mandatory detention under INA §236(c) may apply to certain criminal convictions, in which case no bond is available from the immigration court.

Immigration bonds, explained
ICE arrests in Miami-Dade and Broward usually mean Krome or the Broward Transitional Center within a day, and transfers to Glades, Baker, or Louisiana within a week when Krome is full. Our Miami office is twenty minutes from Krome, and we file bond requests at every Florida facility.
Money paid to ICE so a detained person can be released while the case continues. It guarantees attendance at every hearing and is refundable when the case ends and every condition was met.
ICE makes the first custody decision. If ICE denies bond or sets it too high, an immigration judge reviews it at a bond hearing (custody redetermination). Minimum $1,500; commonly $5,000 to $10,000.
Not everyone. Certain criminal convictions trigger mandatory detention, some recent arrivals are limited to an ICE parole request, and the rules changed in 2025 and 2026 and are being litigated.
Flight risk and danger to the community. Family ties, a fixed address, work history, community support, court attendance, and rehabilitation evidence are the bond packet.
A sponsor with lawful status pays ICE through the online CeBONDS system or at an ICE office; a licensed bond company can post it for a fee. Release usually follows within a day.
The case continues. Hearings must be attended and check-ins kept; a missed hearing can mean a removal order and a lost bond. We stay on as the defense team.

The legal minimum is $1,500. Immigration judges commonly set bonds between $5,000 and $10,000, and higher where flight risk or public-safety concerns appear. Family ties, a stable home, work history, court attendance, and rehabilitation evidence all move the number. The estimator on this page gives a typical range.
No. Certain criminal convictions trigger mandatory detention, some recent arrivals are limited to a parole request to ICE, and the rules changed in 2025 and 2026 and are being litigated. Every case needs an individual review by an attorney.
A sponsor with lawful status pays the full amount to ICE through the online CeBONDS system or at an ICE office; a licensed bond company can post it for a fee. The money is refunded when the case ends if every hearing was attended and every condition met.
Typically within days to a few weeks of the request, depending on the facility's docket. The sooner an attorney files the motion with a complete packet, the sooner the hearing is set. Release usually follows within a day of payment.
A denial or a high bond can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and a new hearing can be requested when circumstances change. When detention drags on without any hearing, a habeas corpus petition in federal court can force one.
