OCJF's Immigration Bond Fund
Reuniting detained immigrants with their families in Orange County
Aviso de cierre de la solicitud de fondos de fianza de OCJF: El proceso de solicitud de fondos de fianza se encuentra cerrado temporalmente debido al cierre anual de nuestras oficinas durante las fiestas de diciembre. Prevemos reabrir el proceso de solicitud a mediados de enero con un formulario actualizado. Por favor vuelve a consultar esta página a principios del año nuevo.
What is Our Bond Fund?
When a person is detained by ICE, an immigration judge may set a bond—money that must be paid to secure their release while their case proceeds. OCJF operates a community-based bond fund to support individuals who cannot afford this cost, helping families reunite and allowing people to fight their cases from home. Our goal is to reduce the harms of immigration detention and make freedom accessible to all.
How Does It Work?
Who Do We Help?
Our Bond Fund can support individuals currently detained by ICE with ties to Orange County. Applicants are prioritized based on vulnerability, financial and legal circumstances, and Fund capacity.
Note: We cannot guarantee funding to every applicant.
