AIC - "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) published the agency’s Bond Management Handbook, a manual that provides instruction to agency staff about bond payment procedures, in its electronic library as a result of a lawsuit filed by the Council and a number of bond funds from across the country. The Handbook is only one of the documents being pursued by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The lawsuit seeks to bring greater transparency to the bond payment process so that individuals in detention are able to secure their release as quickly as possible.
Plaintiffs argued that ICE has an obligation to post documents about how the public pays bonds to the agency on its website, particularly when the documents have previously been released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and requested three or more times.
The litigation is ongoing as plaintiffs continue to seek clarity on whether the 2014 Handbook has been updated and seek public disclosure of other documents addressing bond payment procedures, such as local ICE office’s hours of operations, and documents about bond refunds, rejections, or cancellations."
