What happens if someone is out on bail and they get deported?

If a defendant is currently out on bail and Immigration deports them, their case will still remain open and at their next court date the judge will forfeit the bond.  The bail bonds company must then file a motion with the court to prove that the person was deported and are not able to come back to the United States to appear in court.  The bail bonds company will need to get proof from the person that was deported that they were deported.  The proof must also be submitted to the court.  In some cases the court will not accept the motion and still demand the full amount of the bail.

If you are considering bailing someone out who may get deported, then you might want to think twice about it or atleast understand that you may be liable for the full amount of the bail if the court demands it.
