Coatesville, PA asked in DUI / DWI and Immigration Law for Pennsylvania

Q: Why can't he get his bail?

My dad got arrested..he did his 7 days in prison and then ICE showed up and said they would take him to the immigration prison even though he had a DUI.. my dad isnt able to get a bond because he left the country but he left with permission from immigration because he has a TPS. He got his passport stamped and got checked by immigration on his way there and back. He was allowed to leave for 6 months but only left for 1 and the only reason he left was because his mother was ill.

A: Your dad might be bond eligible. It depends which judge and how many arrests he has and when they occurred along with other equities. Is he in York County Prison? or Pike? If so, you should consult with an attorney before his next hearing before the Judge in York.
