How to Protect Yourself From Immigration Bond Scams

The article centers immigrant families' vulnerability to exploitation, using protective consumer language ('protect yourself') that aligns with immigrant-rights advocacy. The framing presupposes immigration detention as an existing condition requiring protection from secondary exploitation rather than questioning detention itself. Source (Documented) is an immigrant-focused nonprofit, and the article lacks government or institutional perspectives on bond fraud enforcement, creating an advocacy-oriented rather than balanced institutional accountability frame.
