If your loved one calls you, tell them to ask ICE to release them.
-
ICE has the authority to release some people on a bond. ICE can also release people “on recognizance,” which means ICE can release them without paying a bond. If ICE agrees to release your loved one on bond, pay the bond as soon as you are because ICE can take back the option to pay bond at any time.
-
You can find instructions on how to pay bond in and around Los Angeles in our handout called “How to Pay Bond in Los Angeles.”

-
Add money to your loved one’s phone account.
-
Once you have located your loved one, you can add money to their phone account so they can communicate with you and others while they are detained.
-
We have instructions on adding money to a phone account at the Adelanto Detention Facility in our handout called “How to Support My Loved One Who Is Detained at the Adelanto Detention Facility.” If your loved one is detained somewhere else, call that facility to find out how to add money to a phone account.
