Detention / Bond Hearing
Helping immigrant detainees obtain reduced bond requirements
Detention / Bond Hearing Attorney In North Carolina
What Are Detention And Bond Hearings?
If you or a loved one has entered the United States without legal authorization, you may come into contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. After being issued a Notice to Appear (NTA), ICE will decide whether to release the individual on their own recognizance or keep them in custody — either with or without a bond amount set.
Unfortunately, immigration bonds must be paid in full, and many families simply cannot afford the total amount. When a detainee cannot pay the bond, they remain in ICE custody until their deportation case is resolved.
If you or a loved one has been denied bond or given a bond that is too high to pay, you may qualify for a bond hearing before an immigration judge. This hearing gives you the opportunity to request a reduction or to demonstrate why release is appropriate while your case continues.

What Qualifies a Detainee for a Bond Hearing?
If you have no criminal record and may be eligible for relief from removal, you could qualify for a bond reduction or release from detention. During your bond hearing, the immigration judge will consider several important factors, including:
- Whether you have family living in the United States
- Your connections to your local community
- Your employment history and financial stability
- Your ability to pay a reduced bond
- The likelihood that you will appear for future court hearings
These details help the judge determine whether you can safely be released while your immigration case moves forward.

Our attorneys prepare thoroughly for bond hearings — presenting documentation, witness statements, and other evidence to show that you deserve release.

What Happens During a Detention and Bond Hearing?
To begin the process, your attorney will file a motion with the immigration court requesting a bond redetermination hearing. Once the motion is submitted, the court will schedule a date for your hearing.
At the hearing, your attorney, the government’s attorney, and the immigration judge will be present in person, while you or your loved one will typically appear via video conference from the detention center. If you do not speak or understand English, the court will provide an interpreter at no cost to ensure that you can fully participate in the proceedings. During the hearing, the judge will review all the evidence and arguments presented to determine whether you qualify for a bond reduction that could allow your release from custody. Because this decision can have a life-changing impact, it’s important to have skilled legal representation to ensure your case is presented clearly and effectively.
At The Emory Law Firm, P.C., we prepare thoroughly for every hearing, advocating for your right to be reunited with your family while your immigration case continues. If you or someone you care about is being held by ICE, don’t wait — contact The Emory Law Firm, P.C. today to get help and begin working toward your release.
