Immigration Bond Information
How Does an Immigration Bail Bond Work?
An immigration bail bond is a financial guarantee that allows a detained individual to be released from ICE custody while awaiting their immigration hearing without paying the full bond amount upfront.
When a person is detained by ICE, an immigration bond may be set by either an immigration judge or an ICE officer after evaluating the individual’s case. Bond amounts typically start at $1,500 but can quickly rise to $25,000 or more based on several factors, including immigration history, criminal record, family connections in the United States, employment status, and whether the individual is considered a flight risk. For many families, paying the full bond amount upfront can create serious financial stress during an already difficult situation.
Armando S. Espinoza Bail Bonds provides fast and reliable immigration bail bond services throughout California. With over 46 years of experience serving families in Los Alamitos, CA, we help qualified clients secure release from ICE detention by posting the full immigration bond amount on their behalf for a service fee. This allows families to reunite with their loved ones sooner while the detained individual continues attending immigration court hearings and works through their immigration case.
Armando S. Espinoza Bail Bonds proudly offers bilingual assistance in both English and Spanish and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If your loved one has been detained by immigration authorities, our experienced team is ready to help you secure a fast immigration bond anywhere in California.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Armando S. Espinoza Bail Bonds we guide families through every step. Here are the answers to what our clients ask most.
How much does an immigration bail bond cost in California?
ICE bond amounts vary depending on the case, but most families pay a percentage of the total bond through a licensed bail bond company instead of paying the full amount upfront. At Armando S. Espinoza Bail Bonds, we offer flexible payment options throughout California to help families secure fast release from immigration detention.
How long will it take for my loved one to be released from ICE custody?
Release times from immigration detention vary by facility and processing load. After an immigration bond is posted, release can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. Our team moves quickly to submit paperwork and keep you informed every step of the way.
What information do I need to start the immigration bond process?
To begin, we typically need the detainee's full legal name, A-Number (Alien Registration Number), the detention facility name, and the bond amount if available. If you do not have all of that, call us and we can help locate the information through ICE records.
What does a co-signer need to provide for an immigration bond?
A valid government-issued ID, proof of U.S. residency or citizenship, proof of address, and proof of income or employment are typically required from the co-signer.
What collateral is accepted for an immigration bail bond?
Common collateral includes real estate, vehicles, jewelry, and other valuable assets. The type of collateral accepted depends on the bond amount and individual case details.
Do you offer payment plans for immigration bonds?
Yes. Immigration bonds can be expensive, and many families are not prepared for that cost. We review each situation individually and work out payment arrangements based on income, collateral, and co-signer eligibility.
Are you available nights and weekends for immigration bond cases?
Yes, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ICE arrests and immigration detentions do not follow business hours, and neither do we. Call us any time and a licensed agent will answer.
Can you post immigration bonds outside of San Diego County?
Yes. Armando S. Espinoza Bail Bonds helps families post immigration bonds throughout California, including cases involving ICE detention centers, county jails, and federal processing facilities. Our agents work quickly to help secure release as fast as possible.
Is my family's information kept confidential?
Yes. Every immigration case is handled privately and confidentially. Whether your loved one is being held by ICE in California detention facility, your personal, financial, and legal information remains protected.
Can I get an immigration bond with bad credit?
Bad credit does not automatically disqualify you. We look at the full picture, including collateral, employment history, and whether a qualified co-signer is available. Contact us and we will let you know what options apply to your situation.
What happens if the detainee misses an immigration hearing?
Missing an immigration court hearing is serious. The judge can order the detainee taken back into custody, and the bond may be forfeited. The co-signer could become responsible for the full bond amount. Attending every scheduled hearing is critical.
What is the co-signer responsible for in an immigration bond?
The co-signer guarantees that the detainee appears at all required immigration hearings. If the detainee fails to appear, the co-signer may be held financially responsible for the full bond amount.
Does the co-signer need to be a U.S. citizen?
The co-signer generally needs to be a lawful permanent resident or U.S. citizen with verifiable income and a valid ID. Call us to review your specific situation.
Is the immigration bond premium refundable?
No. The premium paid to the bail bond company is a service fee and is not refundable, even if the detainee is released or the case is resolved. This is standard practice under California law.
How is an immigration bond amount determined?
ICE sets the initial bond amount based on factors like criminal history, ties to the community, length of U.S. residency, and flight risk. An immigration judge can review and potentially lower the amount at a bond hearing.
What is the difference between an immigration bond and a criminal bail bond?
Criminal bail bonds are set by state courts and cover criminal charges. Immigration bonds are set by ICE or a federal immigration judge and apply to individuals held under civil immigration violations. The processes, requirements, and agencies involved are different.
Can an immigration bond amount be reduced?
Yes. An immigration attorney can request a bond redetermination hearing before an immigration judge. The judge may lower the amount based on the detainee's ties to the community and other factors.
What happens to the bond when the immigration case ends?
Once the immigration case concludes and all hearing obligations have been met, the bond is cancelled and any eligible collateral posted with the bond company is returned to the co-signer.
What types of immigration bonds do you handle?
We handle delivery bonds, which allow a detainee to be released while their case is pending, and voluntary departure bonds, which guarantee the person will leave the country by a court-set date. Both bond types require working through ICE or an immigration court, and our agents know how to navigate that process.
Why choose Armando S. Espinoza Bail Bonds for immigration cases?
We have worked with Spanish-speaking families throughout California for years, and we know how stressful an ICE detention can be. Our agents are available around the clock, speak Spanish, and handle immigration bonds with the experience and care your family deserves.
