Call now to bond out an ICE detainee: (844) 910-2342
Delivery bonds (i.e., immigration bonds) can be posted in-person directly at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility. Immigration bonds can be posted Monday-Friday (except holidays) at this facility from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
To post an immigration bond for someone detained, you must have a money order, cashier’s check or certified check. If the bond amount exceeds $10,000 and over, you can only pay by single cashier’s check or a certified check. All payments should be made to the “US Department of Homeland Security” or “Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
If you do not want to post the bond in-person yourself, you can also have a licensed immigration bond agent post the bond for you. For a small fee, ranging from 2% – 10%, an agent can post the bond for you electronically, so that you do not have to travel to the ICE-ERO facility. This process is typically faster and easier than posting a bond yourself.
Does the facility have public parking?
Yes. If you know someone who is detained at Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York and you would like to visit them, there is free parking at the facility.
