INFORMATION ABOUT GETTING A BOND:

When looking at a bond case, the judge will determine whether or not an individual is eligible for bail.

It is possible that if an individual has received a deportation order, they may not be eligible for bond.

If someone is determined to be a flight risk or a danger to the community, they will be denied bail or deemed ineligible.

The judge also has the ability and freedom to examine and consider any evidence available to him to determine whether or not the person in question is a flight risk or a danger to the community.

Given this, the judge also has the ability and freedom to consider whether the individual was apprehended or caught crossing the border or whether he or she has established residency here in the United States.

If someone has been caught or apprehended crossing the border, bail will usually be denied. Although, that being said, it is still entirely possible to receive bail, even if they do not meet all the requirements set out in 42b or the cancellation of removal or deportation.

To give you an example of the above information: If an individual has been sentenced or convicted of a DUI (driving under the influence), then that person may be seen as a threat to the community. Therefore, the judge will likely deny that individual bail on this basis.

REQUIREMENTS

If an individual does not have a close or immediate family member here in the United States, it may be considered a flight risk due to the fact that they do not meet the requirements for a 42b or the cancellation of removal.

Given all this information regarding the judge’s discretion, there is no way to fully know how the judge is going to rule on the case or bail.

That said, there are several crimes that make it impossible to obtain bail and/or the requirements for a 42b (cancellation of removal). Crimes that make it impossible to obtain bail are called Aggravated Felonies.

If the person seeking bail has one of the following convictions, we will not take their case.
If one has been sentenced or convicted of the following crime, our firm will not be able to take their case. Take a minute to review the list and determine if the person who needs help has an Aggravated Felony.
