Detention / Bond Hearing
Clear Guidance for Navigating ICE Detention and Bond Hearings
Charlotte Detention / Bond Hearing Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide
What Are Detention And Bond Hearings?
If you or a loved one entered the United States without proper documentation, you may find yourself in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). After receiving a Notice to Appear (NTA), ICE will decide whether to release the individual on their own recognizance or detain them — sometimes with a bond amount, sometimes without one.
Because immigration bonds must be paid in full, many families struggle to afford them. When the bond is too high, or when bond is denied completely, the person may remain in ICE custody for the entire duration of the deportation process unless they qualify for a bond hearing.
A bond hearing gives you the opportunity to request release from detention, but the process can be demanding and requires strong preparation. Melody Busey helps clients nationwide pursue bond hearings, gather the necessary evidence, and present arguments aimed at securing release while their immigration case continues.
If you or a family member is detained, don’t wait. Reach out to B&G Law Group, PLLC today to discuss your options and take the first step toward seeking freedom.

What Qualifies a Detainee for a Bond Hearing?
If you have no criminal history and appear eligible for relief from removal, you may qualify for a reduced bond amount. When deciding whether to lower the bond or grant release, the immigration judge considers several factors — including your family ties in the United States, your connection to the community, your employment history, your ability to pay a reduced bond, criminal history/record, and whether you pose any risk of failing to appear for future hearings.
Having steady legal guidance during this process can make a meaningful difference. Melody Busey prepares detailed bond hearing requests, gathers supportive evidence, and presents arguments that highlight your stability, responsibility, and ties to the community.

What Happens During a Detention and Bond Hearing?
To request a bond hearing, Melody Busey will file a motion asking the immigration court to reconsider the original bond decision. Once the motion is submitted, the court will schedule a bond hearing. Typically, the judge, the government’s attorney, and Melody will appear in person, while you or your detained loved one will take part through a video connection from the detention facility. If you do not speak or understand English well, the court will provide an interpreter at no cost.
During the hearing, the judge will review the evidence and decide whether a lower bond — or any bond at all — is appropriate. Because your ability to secure release depends heavily on what is presented at this hearing, having strong legal guidance is extremely important.
If you or a family member is seeking a bond reduction or release from detention, don’t wait. Reach out to B&G Law Group, PLLC today to get help with your case.
