See this article: http://ezinearticles.com/?What-is-an-Immigration-Bond?&id=1271013
Part of this article states:
Immigration bond is a federal bond, versus that of the state, for which you may be responsible for posting when you have been detained and arrested by the bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This is a lot different than being arrested by your city or other local authorities. In the case of immigration bonds it is the federal government with which you are dealing.
In one key way, an immigration bond is familiar territory for those who have charted the waters of the bail and bond process. The bond is put up to simply assure the courts that the person who has been arrested and detained will show up for all scheduled court proceedings.
