My boyfriend has a hold for immigration. I paid the bond but they said ice will take him anyways.
My boyfriend got pulled over and got arrested for no driver license and speeding. They told me the bond and when I tried to pay it they told me ice had put him a hold. I still paid the bond and it’s been more than 48 hours and he has not been released. Can they keep him in there
Yes. They can keep him there.
Even if you paid the criminal bond, the jail is legally required to hold him for ICE if there is an immigration detainer (“ICE hold”). Once his criminal bond is paid, the jail must transfer him directly into ICE custody, not release him to the public.
He will not be released back to you. ICE will take him to an immigration detention center, usually within a short period after the criminal charges are processed.

In this situation, an urgent consultation with an immigration lawyer is strongly advised so you can understand the options better.
