Leaders of a local immigrant advocacy group are trying to help suspected illegal immigrants arrested in work-site raids access bail money.
CASA de Maryland is working with the National Immigrant Bond Fund to help immigrants detained in raids get out of jail and fight the charges against them. The fund has already put up the cash to help free 10 of the 46 people detained by federal immigration authorities during a June raid on an Annapolis painting company. Their bail amounts ranged from $3,500 to $20,000. Detainees were asked to provide half the money themselves.
