The answer is YES. As a former criminal prosecutor and now a criminal and Immigration defense lawyer, I can assure you that I have clients that are released from immigration detainers from all over the country all the time. If you want to bail someone out that is in jail on state or federal charges and has an immigration hold or detainer, you should work with a lawyer that knows both immigration and criminal defense. See my website criminalandimmigrationdefense.com. The jails will regularly tell you that you cannot pay the bail or bond on the criminal case but they are dead wrong. Certainly you can pay the criminal bail set by the judge and almost always you should when given the choice but they will fight you on it. The inmate will not get out right away but will taken to immigration custody where a deportation lawyer can request an immediate bond hearing and in most cases be granted one, depending on the severity of the crime and the person's past criminal record. Be wary of many lawyers both criminal and immigration lawyers that tell you that it cannot be done. They simply do not know both areas of the law. This is a very specialized field of law. My law firm has been doing it for 16 years. There are issues regarding whether the person will be given credit for the criminal case for the time that they are in immigration custody and that is why you should consult with a lawyer familiar with both criminal and immigration law before you do anything else. Good luck and keep fighting for his or her freedom!

you can get out on bail for your criminal case but you stay in jail til ice picks you up. Then you have to post immigration bail. if that works then you get out but you can still be deported.

Happens if you have an immigration detainer with an order to remove?

You are picked up by the Immigration office that services your area and then you are held in Immigration jail until you are given a court date to appear in front of an Immigration judge. From there, if you dont have a great lawyer to represent you, then you can more or less say good bye to the USA.


Is a warrant issued to an inmate currently in prison the same as a detainer?

A detainer is a request from another jurisdiction asking that they notify that jurisdiction that the person is about to be released. Detainer's are often the result of a warrant that has been issued for that inmate. If the warrant is relatively minor, then the detainer may not actually be issued. And not all detainers are the result of warrants: there could be immigration detainers or detainers from probation and parole, asking the prison to let them know when the person will be released because that inmate is supposed to report to probation once he has been released.
