Posting an Immigration Bond for Someone at LaSalle County Jail: When to Act and What to Review
Getting someone released on an ICE immigration bond comes down to timing and paperwork. Here's what to do first, what you can handle online through CeBonds, and what to read closely before you pay anything.
ICE bond posting has a tight daily window: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the time zone where the person is detained. Miss that window and you lose a full day. Plan your calls, travel, and paperwork around those hours.
For detainee information at the La Salle County Regional Detention Center, call (956) 948-5193. The line is available between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., so you can confirm details before attempting to post a bond.
CeBonds (ICE's Cash Electronic Bonds system) lets obligors handle key bond tasks online. One useful starting point: you can verify bond information for a detained person, confirming exactly what bond you're dealing with before taking the next step.
You can also use CeBonds to post a bond electronically, though only for eligible detained people. If electronic posting is available in your situation, it saves real time compared to handling everything in person during the 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. window.
Tip: CeBonds lets obligors receive electronic notifications about bond-related events. Turn these on so you can track updates without constantly checking in.
Before you post an immigration bond, read the Bond Agreement (Form I-352) carefully. ICE's own guidance is clear: the obligor should thoroughly review Form I-352 because it is the only document that provides the terms and conditions of the agreement. If you're signing and paying as the obligor, this is the paperwork that controls what you're agreeing to.
You may come across ICE's Immigration Bond Fact Sheet while researching the process. It offers helpful background, but it is not legally enforceable against ICE or the federal government. Treat it as informational. The Bond Agreement (Form I-352) is what actually governs the terms of the bond you're posting.
