Your inquiry is based on vague facts. Was he/she detained at the border? If yes, ICE may have issued a Notice to Appear classifying his/her as an arriving alien. For those, there is no bond by an immigration judge, only by ICE. Was he/she given a credible fear interview, or he/she is still waiting for it? A lawyer probably can ask ICE to release him/her on bond, but it depends on many factors concerning flight risk and danger to society. I don't think you can hurt by asking the judge for a bond hearing - the worst case scenario he will say no, but this will not make the situation worse than it already is.
