You will need two different attorneys to help you here. First, you will want to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to find out what kind of hold the agency has on your cousin. Second, you will want to contact the local authorities to find out how much bail must be posted in order for your cousin to be released. Those are your two obstacles. There are many different kinds of immigration holds and you will want to discuss those holds with an attorney who understands immigration law. On the DUI, normally courts will put defendants on signature bonds or small cash bonds if it is a first or second DUI. If it is a third or fourth DUI, your cousin may be looking at substantial cash or a high signature bond with strict conditions. Again, contact someone in the area.
