• Who sets it: a judge chooses the terms.
• Bond hearing timing: Colorado law expects a bond hearing in 48 hours or less after someone arrives at the jail, for most cases.
• Signature bond: the person pays nothing now and signs a pledge to show up in Las Animas court.
• Full payment: someone covers the total bond directly — the refund may be reduced by court fees.
• Bail agent: the agent's fee stays with the agent — Colorado limits it at 15% or $50, whichever is greater.
• Property bond: real estate in this state may secure the bond when the owner's equity is valued at 1.5 times the amount.
• The court may add terms to release, like regular check-ins, testing or keeping away from a victim.
• Still held? Another case may stop release.
• Keep every court hearing — a missed date may trigger a warrant and bond forfeiture.
• Current bond: the Trinidad jail at 719-846-2211 can give the current bond.

A federal arrest that starts in Las Animas County won't go through the county courts. The hearings take place inside the federal courthouse in Colorado Springs, 212 North Wahsatch Avenue, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80903; its clerk answers at 719-471-3387. Soon after being picked up, your loved one faces a U.S. magistrate judge at a first appearance.

Bail amounts are not posted in a table. Rather, the court sets a custody hearing to weigh whether the detained person walks out pending trial and with what limits. Until then, lots of federal prisoners are housed in a local jail that houses people for the U.S. Marshals. To find out where someone is held, phone the Marshals on 719-633-2037. With a federal prison term in place, the federal BOP takes custody; its BOP inmate locator displays the location.

Step one: During booking, fingerprint scans get run through national databases that ICE may see.

Step two: If ICE wants the defendant, it issues an immigration detainer on Form I-247A.

Step three: The request asks for up to 48 hours more past the time of release. That time counts without a break; weekends and holidays aren't skipped.

Step four: Colorado law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, says jails may not keep anyone beyond release solely because ICE asked. That means Las Animas County frees the detained person on schedule unless a court order exists.

Step five: ICE agents can arrive when release happens to take custody. Otherwise, the arrested person simply leaves.
