A:
Signing a bond for someone who is an undocumented immigrant under an ICE hold carries significant responsibilities. If the person fails to appear in court or is deported, the court may forfeit the bond amount. This means you would lose the money you provided as bail.
Furthermore, you could be held financially responsible for the full bond amount if the individual does not meet their legal obligations. It’s essential to fully understand the terms and conditions associated with posting bail in such cases.
Before making any decisions, it’s wise to seek advice from a legal professional who can guide you based on the specifics of your situation. They can help you assess the risks and ensure you’re making an informed choice.
