I was arrested couple of months ago, the court gave me $100,000.00( so i had to pay $10,000 to get out) but also, the judge asked for my passport , because I am not an American citizen. My friend was in the court room and in couple of days he paid the $10,000 and he gave them my passport. After that I was taken into immigration custody because I had overstayed my visa in the USA, like I said before I am not an US citizen. The immigration let me out on an ankle bracelet monitoring device. But they took my other passport(which was expired, i just had it because I had my visa on it). But I got a little crazy , decided to cut the bracelet , and I found a way to go back to my country. My question is, because I know that the bond money is long gone, what will happen to the passport? hoping they will keep them there, because I wanted to go and get a new one in my country. But I am not sure what is the procedure when the US authorities have your international passport. Does anyone knows if they would send it back or just keep it there , thinking that I might be still in the USA. By the way, they don't have any records of me leaving the country, because I left to my country from Canada. So, I was wandering if the police or the immigration would contact the embassy of my country in USA to try to locate me and do something else.

P.S. After all this said, I guess I shouldn't even try to pass near the States? I think I made a huge mistake.
 
If they want to find you they will. Chances are there will be a warrant out for your arrest for failure to appear or something like that (not sure about what you get charged with for leaving country, evasion maybe). If you cut the bracelet it tells them, so they might have guessed you returned to your country and send a request for them to send you back for prosecution.
 
Dude.. go go go ! If you are from Canada go through Washington State to vancouver with Canadian ID and also call Canadian immigration phone and ask if you need special ID..Time is vital my friend. Good luck. If you live too far east go for it anyways.
