If you or a loved one is being detained by Immigration in Louisiana, please call 1-888-668-1588 right away! At Brennan Immigration Bonds we can start the process immediately and have your loved one home in no time! Let us guide you during this difficult and stressful process. We can provide you with the professional and personable service that you expect and deserve.
When you call, make sure to have the full name of the person being detained, their Alien number and their country of birth. You will probably already know the bond amount, but with this information we can verify the type of bond required, the facility information and we will confirm the bond amount.
Most facilities release the same day that a bond is posted. However, the facilities located in Louisiana are a bit different. First, most of them are located in very remote areas, making travel on foot impossible. Because of this, these facilities will require that the detainee is being picked up by a friend, family member or taxi company. If you must hire a taxi company, we can provide you with a list of companies to choose from. The bond will not be approved until we have provided confirmation, including the name of the company and the name of the driver, to the officer at the facility. Some locations are more lenient if a bus station or airport is close by. Any facilities that are housing female detainees will not release until we provide transportation information.
Due to these special requirements, there are a couple of facilities that will not release until the following day. They do this for the protection of the person being released, as bus stations and airports in these remote areas do not remain open throughout the night.
Types of Immigration Bonds
There are various types of Immigration bonds. The most common type of bond is a Delivery Bond. When a subject is released on a Delivery Bond, he/she is able to remain living and working in the United States while their case is ongoing. If the individual does not appear for any DHS appointments or scheduled hearings, the Immigration bond will be forfeited thus making the full amount of the bond due to ICE immediately. Any collateral being held by the bond company will then be used to pay the bond.
To read about the other less common types of Immigration bonds, their description is located on our Home Page under “Types of Bonds”.

Posting an Immigration Bond with Premium and Collateral
Posting an Immigration bond in Louisiana requires a premium payment of 15% of the bond. In addition, you will need a form of security, or collateral, for the bond. Collateral is something of value used to secure a bond. For Immigration bonds specifically, it is required that you provide collateral in the form of cash or real estate property. If you do not own real estate property and do not have friends or family that are willing to use their home as security, and will be using cash as collateral, there are several ways in which you can secure the bond. You can provide cash collateral by personally visiting our office, using Zelle through your banking institution, doing a wire transfer or making a deposit into one of our bank accounts. You can also use credit cards to collateralize your bond. We can run up to 5 cards and take Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express. In some cases, you may be eligible for a payment plan, which would require an initial payment of the 15% Premium and 50% of the Collateral. You would then make payments monthly on the remaining 50% of the Collateral. We typically offer 12 months to pay the balance of collateral if a payment plan has been approved.
If you are using any of the above options aside from using real estate property, we can do all of your paperwork electronically. We conveniently send your documents directly to your e-mail address and you can sign these documents on your smart phone, desktop or laptop computer. There is no need for printing, faxing or scanning of any paperwork. In almost all cases, we are ready to post the bond less than an hour after your initial contact with our office.
If you do not have cash collateral, and will be using real estate to secure the bond, the process is a bit different. First, we will need the address of the property that you would like to use. We do a very quick assessment of the property to make sure that is has sufficient equity and is not otherwise encumbered. Once we have determined that the property can be used as collateral, we will prepare all of your documents and send them to your e-mail. You will complete this paperwork, which includes having the Mortgage Agreement notarized, and then return the documents to our office. We must have the original documents prior to posting the bond. If the paperwork is overnighted, we can usually post by noon the following day.
Using your property as collateral for a bond is not how many people believe it to be. By allowing us to place a lien on your property in the amount of the bond, you are able to remove your loved one from detention without having to find a large amount of cash that could possible be unavailable for several years. By using a property, you are securing the bond but you also do not lose any ability to sell or refinance your home. If you decide to sell your home prior to the termination of the immigration case, the amount of the bond will be substituted at that time. Then any cash that we are holding will be returned promptly after the closing of the case. We can submit the bond immediately upon receiving the original documents in our office.
When working with Brennan Immigration Bonds, you will never have to worry about lengthy wait times to receive your collateral upon cancellation of bond. You will typically have your collateral in your possession within 10 days of our office receiving an I-391 form. If you suspect that the case has been terminated, and we have not yet contacted you to notify you that we have received a cancellation, just give us a call and let us know so that we can request one immediately. An Immigration bond is cancelled when the Immigration Judge terminates the court proceedings. This usually happens when legal status is obtained, such as Permanent Resident/Citizenship or if the alien has returned to their country of birth. If you have proof that legal status has been obtained, you can e-mail it a copy of the court document or resident card so that we can get a cancellation based on that evidence.
At Brennan Immigration Bonds you will always be treated fairly. Your questions will be answered thoroughly and truthfully, as we believe it is important for our clients to be as educated as possible about the Immigration bond process. We maintain close contact with our clients from start to finish, making sure to always be available for any questions or concerns that may arise.
It is very important that you choose an Immigration Bond company that has proper knowledge and understanding of the Immigration bond process and not the company that offers you the cheapest price. In order to post an Immigration bond, a specific license is required. This license is not carried by many of the companies advertising their Immigration bond services. In addition, reputable insurance companies, that immigration bond agents write under, require proper collateral to protect both the agent and the indemnitor. Imagine if a bond were posted, you lose contact with the person who was detained, they miss court making YOU responsible for the full amount of the bond. A company that may have offered to post the bond with little or no collateral will now sue you for the amount of the bond. If the Immigration bond process is completed professionally and properly, you avoid having any surprise fees or expenses throughout the case. Brennan Bail Bonds will never charge any interest or additional fees once your bond is posted.
Call now to get started on your Immigration bond! 1-888-668-1588.
All correspondence from the Immigration court will be mailed to the address that ICE has on file at the time of release. You can always contact our office to inquire about court dates and locations.

These facilities do require pick up and travel arrangements prior to approving the bond. As stated before, we will provide a list of Taxi companies.
There are also some organizations in Louisiana that assist detainees in obtaining transportation to a bus station or airport. In some cases, they will also provide assistance for a hotel room if travel cannot be arranged until the following day. If you would like information regarding these organizations, we will happily provide that to you.
Because the facilities in Louisiana are very remote, thus creating a hardship for families when having to pay for a bond, then transportation for a bus or flight and also having to pay for a flight or bus ticket, many of the families that we work with decide to drive to Louisiana to pick up their friend or family member. It’s a long drive but could potentially save several hundred dollars.
At Brennan Immigration Bonds, we understand the sensitive nature of this process and we know the obstacles that many of our clients have had to overcome. Call us at 1-888-668-1588. You deserve to be treated with compassion and to be given the very best experience when dealing with such a stressful situation.
You will not find an Immigration bond company more committed to providing you with the quality care and service that you deserve.
Louisiana Population and Immigration Facts
The State of Louisiana is located in the Deep South, a location of certain States that had plantations and slavery during a period of the United States. Louisiana borders Texas on the west, Mississippi on the east, Gulf of Mexico on the south and Arkansas on the north. Louisiana is over fifty two thousand sixty nine square miles.

Many immigrants come from Mexico, Honduras, Vietnam, the Philippines and Guatemala.
