How Immigration
Bail Bonds Work
Immigration bail bonds — also called immigration surety bonds or delivery bonds — are posted with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to secure the release of a person held in immigration detention.
Unlike standard criminal bail bonds, immigration bonds are set by an ICE officer or immigration judge — not a county judge. They carry a 15% premium (not 10%) and are administered under federal immigration law — not Alabama law. They require the detainee to attend all immigration hearings, and can be revoked if the detainee misses any hearing.
M&J Bail Bonds is licensed to write immigration surety bonds in Alabama. Call us immediately after an ICE detention — the process moves fast and delays can result in transfer to a remote facility. For hearing schedules and case status, see the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). If the detention is in Mobile County, the Mobile County Sheriff's Office may have additional booking information.
Types Of Immigration Bonds In Alabama
ICE and immigration courts use a few specific bond types depending on the detainee's situation. Here's a plain-English breakdown of each.
8 U.S.C. § 1226 · ICE Bond ProceduresDelivery Bond — Most Common
The most common immigration bond. Allows the detained person to be released from ICE custody while awaiting their immigration hearing. The detainee must appear at all scheduled hearings. If they fail to appear, the bond is forfeited and a warrant is issued.
Voluntary Departure Bond — Deadline-Based
Allows a person to voluntarily depart the United States by a specific date. If they leave by the deadline, the bond is refunded. If they do not leave by the deadline, the bond is forfeited.
Order Of Supervision Bond — Post-Removal Order
Posted as a condition of an order of supervision after a removal order is issued. Less common — call M&J for specifics.
Dual-Track Cases — Criminal + Immigration
Some detainees face both a criminal case in state court and an immigration case in federal proceedings. Both bonds may be needed, and M&J handles both.
View ICE's official immigration bond information →
Immigration Bonds Are Federal, Not State
Immigration bonds are administered under federal immigration law, not Alabama's Ala. Code § 12-19-311. That is why the premium is 15% instead of Alabama's standard 10% state-regulated rate.

The 15% Immigration Bond Premium
Immigration bonds carry a 15% premium — not the standard 10% Alabama state rate. This is set by federal surety requirements. Here is how the premium is calculated at common bond amounts:
Minimum ICE Bond
$1,500 Bond- Premium (15%)
- $225
Standard Delivery Bond
$5,000 Bond- Premium (15%)
- $750
Standard Delivery Bond
$10,000 Bond- Premium (15%)
- $1,500
Elevated Flight-Risk Bond
$25,000 Bond- Premium (15%)
- $3,750
Elevated Flight-Risk Bond
$50,000 Bond- Premium (15%)
- $7,500
High Flight-Risk Bond
$100,000 Bond- Premium (15%)
- $15,000
License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
ICE Sets Minimum Bond Amounts
The minimum deportable alien bond is typically $1,500. Many immigration bonds are set significantly higher based on flight risk assessment.
Immigration + Criminal Charges (Dual Track)
Both criminal bail AND immigration bond may be needed. The criminal case runs in state court while the immigration case runs in federal proceedings. M&J handles both — see Alabama Federal Bail Bonds for more.

How Much Is An Immigration Bond In Alabama?
ICE sets the bond amount based on flight risk and criminal history — not a county bail schedule. The table below reflects typical immigration bond ranges. Your actual amount may be higher or lower.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Minimum Deportable Alien Bond
Bail: $1,500
Your cost: $225
02Standard Delivery Bond
Bail: $5,000 – $10,000
Your cost: $750 – $1,500
03Elevated Flight-Risk Bond
Bail: $10,000 – $25,000
Your cost: $1,500 – $3,750
04High Flight-Risk Bond

05Very High Flight-Risk Bond
Bail: $50,000 – $100,000+
Your cost: $7,500 – $15,000+
How The Math Works
Immigration bonds carry a 15% premium set by federal surety guidelines — not Alabama's 10% state rate under Ala. Code § 12-19-311. That is the non-refundable fee paid to M&J Bail Bonds to post your bond. On a $10,000 bond, your cost is $1,500. On a $50,000 bond, your cost is $7,500. Our agents walk you through the exact total before anything is signed.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Start Bail ApplicationBail Eligibility
Who Qualifies For Immigration Bail?
Not every ICE detainee is eligible for bond. Whether bond is available — and how much it is — depends on the detainee's immigration and criminal history. Call M&J immediately so we can confirm the status.
Delivery Bond Eligibility
Bond is generally available when these conditions are met.
- ICE has issued a "Notice to Appear" (NTA)
- ICE officer or immigration judge has set bond
- No mandatory detention hold applies
Reference
8 U.S.C. § 1226 — Apprehension and detention of aliens
Mandatory Detention — Bond Not Available
Certain grounds trigger mandatory detention with no bond option at all.
- Certain criminal convictions (aggravated felonies, crimes of moral turpitude)
- Terrorism-related grounds
- Certain national security concerns
- Prior removal order
Reference
8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) — Mandatory detention provisions
Factors Affecting Bond Amount
When bond is available, the amount is set based on several factors.
- Flight risk assessment
- Criminal history in the U.S. or home country
- Community ties
- Employment history
- Family in the U.S.
- Prior immigration violations
Reference
Assessed by ICE officer or immigration judge at bond hearing

Who Usually Qualifies
Most ICE detainees with a Notice to Appear and no mandatory detention hold qualify for a delivery bond or voluntary departure bond once an ICE officer or immigration judge sets the amount.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Certain criminal convictions, terrorism-related grounds, national security concerns, and prior removal orders trigger mandatory detention — meaning no bond is available at all until an appeal is resolved.
