1653-AA67 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1653 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement USICE 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS Procedures and Standards for Declining Surety Immigration Bonds and Administrative Appeal Requirement for Breaches

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) proposes to set forth standards and procedures ICE will follow before making a determination to stop accepting immigration bonds posted by a surety company that has been certified to issue bonds by the Department of the Treasury when the company does not cure deficient performance. Treasury administers the Federal corporate surety program and, in its current regulations, allows agencies to prescribe "for cause” standards and procedures for declining to accept bonds from Treasury-certified sureties. ICE would also require surety companies seeking to overturn a breach determination to file an administrative appeal raising all legal and factual defenses.
