Local law enforcement agencies are working with federal immigration officials to screen all persons who come into local jails to determine if they are in the United States illegally. In recent years, Fastrak Bail Bonds has experienced a conflict in posting our clients bail bonds due to an INS hold. INS holds are placed on individuals detained for an alleged crime(s) and thought to be illegal in the Unites States.
In general, we verify the arrestee's bail information before and after the required bail bond documents have been finalized with the co-signer. Unfortunately, the INS hold is placed in the interim or after the bail bond has been posted, causing the bail bond to ultimately be rejected by the detention facility. Once the INS hold is in place, bail or bail bonds can't be posted and a refund in premium monies is required.
The arrestee's options for release are limited, if any, at this point. The arrestee first must resolve the local case pending against them. Then they will be turned over to federal government( ICE) for a deportation hearing of some sort. If circumstances allow, the arrestee will be able to make bail or post an immigration bail bond pending their status here in the United States.
Federal immigration laws are changing constantly and can be complex. It's best that you consult with an immigration attorney who specializes in this area of the law.
