He most likely will NOT be released. He will get transferred to immigration. Depending on the criminal charges, the immigration officer may or may not grant him a bond. If he is not granted a bond, he must wait normally 10 days to two weeks before he can request a bond in front of an Immigration Judge.
During the 10 days to two weeks, he will most likely have a court hearing with the police. Immigration will NOT transfer him back to the police. Therefore, you will most likely lose your criminal bond and he’ll have a bench warrant for not presenting himself in court.
Once the Immigration Judge grants him a bond, we can help you pay for the bond. He, however, will most likely not get released because of the outstanding bench warrant. He should get transferred back to the police.
He will be in the exact same situation he is in today minus a bunch of money and two weeks of his time. Generally it is better to wait for all the criminal charges to be cleared. Then once he is transferred to immigration, give us a call with his A # so we can check to see if he has a bond or not with immigration.
