Immigration Bail Bonds at South Texas Family Residential Center

If your loved one has been detained at South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, you are likely feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next. The immigration detention process can be confusing and stressful, but there is hope. Many individuals detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are eligible for release on an immigration bail bond.

South Texas Family Residential Center is operated by CoreCivic and classified as a contract detention facility. The facility has a capacity of approximately 2,400 detainees. Immigration bonds at this facility are typically set by an immigration judge during a bond hearing, or in some cases by ICE itself. Bond amounts generally range from $1,500 to $25,000 or more, depending on factors such as flight risk, criminal history, community ties, and the individual circumstances of the case.

When you work with a licensed immigration bail bondsman, you only pay 10-15% of the total bond amount as a non-refundable premium. For example, if the immigration judge sets a bond of $10,000, your out-of-pocket cost would be just $1,000 to $1,500. The bondsman handles all the paperwork and posts the bond directly with ICE at South Texas Family Residential Center, often completing the process the same day.
