Immigrant defendants gain new bail protections

Beginning July 27, 2025, Washington bans bail bond recovery agents from using their role to enforce civil immigration warrants. These agents also cannot share a defendant’s immigration status outside the bail bond agency’s business. Both acts count as unprofessional conduct and can lead to license suspension, revocation, or other discipline under existing rules.
