How it works in Miami
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.
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.

Common questions
ICE makes the first custody decision. If ICE denies bond or sets it too high, an immigration judge can review it at a bond hearing (a custody redetermination).
A sponsor with lawful status pays the full amount to ICE through the online CeBONDS system or at an ICE office; a licensed immigration bond company can post it for a fee. The money is refundable when the case ends if every condition was met.
Certain criminal convictions and some entry situations make a person ineligible for a bond from the immigration judge. Whether a conviction really triggers mandatory detention is a technical question that attorneys frequently win.
