Immigration Detention Bond Hearings

Colorado Detention Bond Hearing Attorney

If a friend or family member has been arrested and detained by the Immigration or the Department of Homeland Security, he or she has the right to contact an immigration attorney. Contact the Schunk Law Firm, P.C. and Denver immigration attorney Pascal C. Schunk.

You do have rights, including the right to request an immigration detention bond hearing.

In an immigration detention bond hearing, an immigration judge decides if you can live outside the detention facility (located in Aurora, Colorado) while you wait for the deportation hearing / removal proceedings. Without a bond hearing, you will be kept at the detention center without access to family and friends.

At the bond hearing, the judge will either set bond - a dollar amount that must be paid in order for you to leave the detention facility - or no bond will be set and you will stay in detention. It's up to you and your immigration attorney to prove that you:

• Are eligible for a bond
• Will not flee the area to avoid your deportation hearing
• Do not present a risk to society

As your bond hearing attorney, Mr. Schunk will gather and present evidence on your behalf, showing that you have family ties, property in the U.S., and/or good standing in the community.

The Department of Homeland Security may present a case to deny you bond, saying that you pose a "flight risk," or are dangerous. This is why it's so important to have a qualified and experienced deportation defense attorney on your side at the bond hearing.

If bond is denied, you can appeal that decision by asking for a bond redetermination hearing.

If you are in custody relating to a criminal charge at the same time you are facing deportation, you cannot request a bond hearing from the immigration court.

If you or a loved one is in detention, contact the Schunk Law Firm for legal advice and aggressive representation at Colorado immigration detention bond hearings and bond redetermination hearings.
