Immigration Bond Notifications
On August 8, 2023, DHS issued an interim final rule which amended the regulations to authorize ICE to serve bond-related notices to obligors electronically. The rule allowed DHS to electronically serve demand and other immigration bond notices for delivery, order of supervision, or voluntary departure bonds to obligors who consent to electronic service. DHS is now issuing this final rule that introduces no substantive changes from the interim final rule.

Who is affected
The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.
What the document says may be required
The document states a requirement for those it covers. The exact obligation, and whether it applies to a particular person, depends on the document's own terms — the relevant passage is quoted below.
“Specifically, a commenter stated DHS did not appraise the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, in which agencies assess the impact of proposed agency actions on the well-being of a family.\31\ The commenter stated that ICE must provide notifications to CeBONDS users that contain critical information about the posting or status of an immigration bond.”
