ICE Release Lookup

ICE ODLS is the immigration custody locator for people currently in ICE custody and some recent custody data. It is not a Yuma County Jail release archive, and it does not replace sheriff, court, BOP, USMS, or CDOC records when a local custody event has to be traced agency by agency.

ICE Custody After Jail

ICE custody is a separate federal immigration system. If a person leaves the Yuma County Jail because ICE assumed custody, that person has been released from the county jail but not necessarily released into the community. The local release record answers what happened at the sheriff's jail in Wray. ICE ODLS answers a narrower immigration-custody question when the person is in ICE custody or appears in recent ICE custody data.

The research did not identify a Yuma County, Colorado ICE detention facility or a county ICE detention contract. That matters because this page should not make ICE sound like a local Yuma County facility. ICE is treated here as a possible detainer, hold, or transfer channel that can follow a county booking. The official local starting point remains the Yuma County Sheriff's Office at 310 Ash Street, Suite G, Wray, CO 80758, with office phone 970-332-4805 and jail phone 970-345-2244.

A county release can have several meanings. Bond, time served, court order, dismissal, probation, CDOC commitment, USMS transfer, BOP designation, medical hold, and ICE transfer are different outcomes. A page about immigration release has to keep those words separate. If the Yuma County record says transfer, the next question is "to whom?" If the receiving agency was ICE, ODLS may help locate the person, but the county release event itself still comes from sheriff, jail, court, or records-request sources.

USA.gov instructions for finding someone detained by ICE

Use ODLS Correctly

  1. Search ICE ODLS by A-number when the 8- or 9-digit number is available.
  2. If no A-number is available, USA.gov says ODLS can be searched by name, country of birth, and birth date.
  3. Use the Yuma County sheriff or court record to verify whether the county release was a transfer, bond, court order, sentence event, or another local outcome.
  4. Check Colorado VINE only as a custody-status or notification tool, not as a permanent immigration-history archive.
  5. Use BOP or federal court instead of ODLS if the person moved through a federal criminal case rather than immigration detention.
  6. Do not treat a missing ODLS result as proof that no county jail release, detainer, or transfer occurred.

The A-number search is the cleaner ODLS path when the number appears on DHS or EOIR correspondence. USA.gov describes the A-number as an 8- or 9-digit number, and the number search helps avoid mixing people with similar names. When the number is not available, the name search depends on exact enough identity information: name, country of birth, and birth date. If any of those details are uncertain, a no-result search should be handled cautiously.

ODLS is not a Colorado criminal docket and not a county jail release list. It will not explain a Yuma County bond hearing, a dismissal, a probation sentence, a mittimus to state prison, or a local booking record. Those facts belong to the Yuma County court page, the courthouse at 310 Ash Street, Suite L, Wray, CO 80758, the court phone 970-592-6120, and the sheriff or jail records process.

ICE Records and Limits

ICE describes ODLS as a public web-based system for locating individuals in detention. The Source Inventory notes that the locator is for detainees currently in ICE custody or in CBP custody more than 48 hours. USA.gov provides the public search methods: A-number, or name with country of birth and birth date. The research also treats ODLS as a current or recent detainee locator, not a permanent jail-history database.

This current/recent limitation is the main interpretation point. A person who was transferred to ICE and then released, removed, bonded out, moved, or otherwise aged out of the public lookup may not remain visible to a casual public search. A missing result does not settle the Yuma County question. It only means the public ODLS search did not return a matching current or recent ICE custody record under the search details used.

ICE records also do not replace court records. A local criminal case may continue in Colorado court after an immigration transfer, or it may have concluded before ICE took custody. For Yuma County, the court docket and court records request path can show bond, release order, sentencing, dismissal, probation, mittimus, warrant clearance, or later hearings. CoCourts is a separate public court-record path that describes its searches as returning a Register of Action. Those court tools explain the criminal case; ODLS only addresses immigration custody location.

Release vs Immigration Transfer

The practical question is whether the Yuma County record says release to the community, bond, time served, court order, or transfer to another authority. If the entry indicates hold or transfer, confirm the receiving system before describing the result. ICE, BOP, CDOC, USMS, another jail, or medical custody can all make a person disappear from a local facility without ending all custody.

For a Yuma County Jail booking, a release record may include full name, booking number, booking date and time, release date and time, arresting agency, charges at booking, court case number if known, bond amount, release authority, release type, destination or transfer, and sometimes property or account notes. The research did not find a public Yuma County online release feed, so those details may have to be requested from the proper custodian or verified through the court docket.

Use exact custody language when reading those records. "Released from county custody to ICE" is not the same as "released from ICE." "No longer in Yuma County Jail" is not the same as "no longer detained." "No ODLS match" is not the same as "no immigration custody ever occurred." This distinction is especially important in a county like Yuma County, Colorado, where the research found no local online 24-hour or 72-hour release list and no local ICE facility page to cross-check.

Local Records for an ICE Path

When the county side has to be documented, use the Yuma County records process. The county CORA page says requests to inspect public records must be written to the official custodian and specific as to the records and dates sought. A request sent to the wrong person or wrong email does not start the response clock until the custodian confirms receipt. For criminal justice records, the custodian may evaluate the request under CCJRA rules rather than ordinary CORA rules.

A practical request for a possible ICE transfer should include the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, case number if known, and a specific request for the booking sheet, release date and time, release type, release authority, transfer destination, and any releasable hold or detainer notation maintained by the sheriff. The county states that standard-page copies are 25 cents, research or retrieval may be charged at actual cost not exceeding $41.37 per hour, and normal production is three working days after deposit with a possible extension generally not more than seven working days.

The Yuma County Administrator contact for the public-records request form is listed at 310 Ash Street, Suite A, Wray, CO 80758, phone 970-332-5796 ext. 221. That general county process does not mean every jail or criminal justice record is automatically releasable. It does give the reader a documented way to ask for existing records instead of relying on a public feed that the research did not find.

Other Systems to Check

ICE ODLS is only one branch of the release map. If the person was sentenced to state prison, the correct statewide path is CDOC offender search, not ODLS. If the person was sentenced to federal prison, the correct public federal prison path is BOP, which covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present and explains how Release Date and Location should be read. If the person was moved by U.S. Marshals before BOP designation, federal court and the local holding facility may be the better path because there is no public USMS locator comparable to BOP.

Colorado VINE can help with custody-status checks and notifications where the relevant agency feeds data. It should be treated as a notification and current or recent custody-status tool, not as a permanent archive. The Colorado VINE page is the state landing page, and Colorado county guidance identifies the toll-free number as 888-263-8463. VINE may be useful when a future release alert is needed, but final official confirmation still belongs to the agency that held the person or to the court record that ordered the release.

Keep ICE Separate

For this Yuma County page, the safest workflow is to preserve the agency named in the record. The sheriff's office answers county jail custody. The Yuma County court record answers the criminal case event. CDOC answers state prison and parole custody. BOP answers federal prison custody. USMS and federal court answer federal pretrial, transport, and holding issues. ICE ODLS answers current or recent immigration custody where the public search returns a match.

That separation keeps the release description accurate. A person can be released from the Yuma County Jail and still be in ICE custody. A person can be absent from ODLS and still have a county release record. A person can have a state or federal case path that has nothing to do with immigration custody. The page should therefore use ODLS as a targeted locator and use local records to prove what happened at the Yuma County Jail.
