The friends or family can hire a bail bond agent for the release of the detained person. 100% collateral is accepted by the bail bond agent (in cash or property) in the case of immigration bonds unlike the ordinary criminal bond in which a bond premium which is 10% of total bail amount is required to be paid. The bail agent in return helps in putting up the bail bond for these illegal immigrants when they are not near an immigration office and also are not aware of how and where to pay for the bail. In short the hired bail agent simplifies the process of posting a bail bond for the detained immigrant.
