Q: what are the chances of release on his own ... cant think of the word if he has the 911 interupt call and asult?
what are the chances of the judge letting him go on the 17th with these charges even if he isnt legal?
A: That is all dependent upon his criminal history. I have represented many clients who were undocumented who were released without bail. However, he could continue to remain in custody if there is an immigration hold that prohibits his release.
A: If there is no immigration hold, a defendant should get bail with or without other conditions of release set by a judge. Most will be able to afford to post bail and get out. His lawyer can help argue for lower bail.
A: That is difficult to say, for many reasons, including where he lives. Some jurisdictions have arrangements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to turn over those in the US in violation of immigration law. Sometime ICE officers act on their own. There are many other factors to consider, too, that lie outside the realm of immigration law. You might want to ask this question to a criminal defense attorney.
