Can a bail bondsman call immigration on a client?

We payed bail bonds to release my brother in law, and the only information given to them was his name and address. However, when he presented to sign, immigration was waiting for him in the bail bonds office. Was it legal for the bail bonds company to call immigration on him?

Legal is a funny word. It was not criminal, if that is what you mean. I doubt the bail bondsman called.

No it was not against the law if in fact the bail bondsman did this.

There is no confidentiality privilege between a client and bail bondsman. I wouldn't jump to assume that is who called, but even if he did, it was not criminal.
