Check ICE Detainee Releases

Moore County ICE Custody

ICE detention is a federal civil immigration system, separate from the Moore County Jail, TDCJ, BOP, and USMS. The reviewed official county material did not identify an ICE detention facility or active detention contract in Moore County. A person arrested in Dumas may still come to ICE attention, but the custody chain must be proved from the local release transaction and the federal immigration channel.

A county departure can have two very different meanings. The sheriff may release a person to the community after bond, dismissal, time served, or another authority. The sheriff may instead transfer the person to ICE. In the second case, county custody ends while immigration detention begins. The phrase “released from Moore County Jail” therefore cannot stand alone as proof that the person is free.

Search ICE Detainee Status

The ICE Online Detainee Locator System, often called ODLS, is principally a current-detention locator. It is not a complete release-history archive. Search with the A-number and country of birth when those details are known. The alternate identity route uses full name, date of birth, and country of birth. Exact spelling and the required country field matter.

1. Request the Moore County release destination and date from the sheriff record.
2. If ICE is named, search ODLS with the A-number and country of birth.
3. Try exact biographical fields when no A-number is available.
4. Check spelling, name order, birth date, and required country information.
5. Contact the relevant ERO office when a concrete custody reason remains and no match appears.

ODLS may show a current detention location and contact information for a locator-eligible record. A result does not explain the local criminal case. Pair it with the sheriff transaction. Likewise, a Moore County jail record does not describe later transfers inside the ICE network.

ICE Locator No-Result Limits

No ODLS match has more than one possible explanation. The person may have been released, transferred, removed from the United States, entered under a spelling variant, fallen outside locator eligibility, or been affected by an update delay. Required fields may also be wrong. ODLS is not designed as a durable history of every immigration detention and release event.

The ICE detainee locator help explains the official locator and points users toward ERO when online searching does not resolve a specific concern. Provide identifying information carefully. An A-number is more precise than a name. Do not publish or circulate sensitive identifiers when a direct agency inquiry will do.

Detainers and Moore Releases

An immigration detainer signals an ICE interest or request connected to a person held by another agency. The mere presence of a hold field does not prove that ICE arrived, accepted custody, or detained the person after the local case ended. Ask the Moore County Sheriff's Office for the existing destination or receiving-agency field in the booking and release record.

If the record says transfer to ICE, compare the local release date with ODLS and ERO information. If it says community release and gives no immigration destination, do not rewrite the transaction based on rumor or a stale roster entry. A court order, bond record, and jail processing record answer local questions. Immigration detention and immigration proceedings have their own federal records and limits.

Detainer

A notice or request tied to another agency's custody interest.

Transfer

A move to a new custodian rather than freedom from custody.

ODLS

ICE's online current-detainee locator.

ERO

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, the operational contact route.

ICE Release Contact Routes

No local ICE facility contact card can be supplied because no such Moore County site was verified. Use ODLS for a locator-eligible current detainee and follow its facility details. Use ERO when a recent transfer is supported by the sheriff record but the online locator does not resolve it. Verify every named contract facility through an official ICE page.

For the local side, the Moore County Sheriff's Office maintains the booking and exit transaction. Request the full name, date of birth if known, booking date, booking number, release date and time, release authority, and destination where maintained. Ask for an existing record rather than requiring staff to answer a custom question. The sheriff record ends at sheriff custody.

After an ICE Detainee Exit

Leaving a named ICE detention facility can mean release under immigration conditions, transfer to another ICE site, removal, or another custody event. ODLS may stop showing a person after a change, but it does not function as a full public release ledger. ERO is the follow-up when the locator and a supported custody trail conflict.

A person may also remain involved in immigration court or reporting requirements after physical detention ends. Those legal events are not the same as county probation, TDCJ parole, or federal supervised release. Keep each system separate. Moore County clerks can address the local criminal case, not immigration status. The sheriff can address the jail transaction, not a later ICE decision.

The Moore County released inmates search lays out the broader receiving-agency method. Save the date each source was checked, since location data can change as transfers are processed. A sound record notes which agency supplied each fact and avoids turning a missing online result into a conclusion.

Moore County Name Checks

Pair every search with Moore County, Texas and Dumas. Search engines can return Moore Counties in other states and the unrelated TDCJ Choice Moore Unit in Fannin County. That state prison has no bearing on whether ICE held someone from Moore County. Agency, jurisdiction, and facility identifiers prevent the mix-up.

Commercial detention directories are not proof of a present ICE contract or a named person's custody. The reviewed research found no verified local ICE facility. If an individual record identifies a contract jail outside the county, confirm it through ICE's official facility material and the current ERO route.

Verify an ICE Custody Exit

Build the timeline from the Moore County record first. Note the local release time, authority, destination, and any ICE notation. If the destination says ICE, preserve the A-number when lawfully available and search ODLS with the required country of birth. Compare the identity and location details carefully. A same-name result without matching biographical facts is not enough, especially when the name may appear in more than one spelling or order.

When no locator record appears, contact ERO with the concrete reason for the inquiry and the documented transfer date. State that ODLS did not resolve the search. Do not state that the person was released, removed, or transferred again unless ERO or another official record supports that outcome. Locator eligibility, age or record limits, a recent movement, and source delay can all affect what is visible. The research did not establish a Moore County ICE release archive.

A later immigration custody event should not be merged with the local criminal case. The county court can document bond, dismissal, sentence, or another local order. The sheriff can document the jail exit. ICE can address its detention system. Immigration court records, where available under their own rules, concern the federal proceeding. Keeping those custodians separate makes clear why one agency may show an exit while another still shows detention.

Use the same care with dates. The Moore County exit time marks the end of sheriff control, while an ICE intake time marks a separate federal event. A gap may reflect transport or data entry and does not prove time in the community. Compare identifiers, agencies, and destinations before linking two entries. When evidence remains incomplete, describe only the last verified custodian. This protects the difference between a local release record and an immigration custody conclusion.
