A: Sounds like someone has a DUI and is in custody with an ICE hold. Their criminal case

will have to be resolved first and then ICE will pick them up. If you post bond for the

criminal offense they will not be released they will go into ICE custody. My recommendation in those

situations is not to post the bond. When the criminal case is over they will be placed in ICE custody where

they should have sufficient time to fight the deportation. I recommend you hire an experienced

criminal attorney for the DUI who has a good knowledge of immigration law.

A: It depends. Unless he has been deported in the past, he will have a chance to make a case before an immigration judge.
