Locate ICE Custody Transfers

Where ICE Transfers Go

A person can leave NWRCC and enter ICE civil immigration detention. That ends regional-jail custody, but it is a transfer, not community release. NWRCC’s immigration information directs readers to ICE ODLS after a detainee moves from the facility. The NWRCC transfer entry should identify the date, time, legal basis, and receiving agency when public.

ICE may move a detainee within its detention network, release the person under an immigration process, or maintain custody while proceedings continue. The local research identifies no ICE contract facility in Red Lake County. Do not invent a local detention address or assume the person remained in Crookston. Start with the NWRCC handoff, then use ICE for current federal custody.

Confirm ICE Custody Status

ICE ODLS offers two search methods. One uses a nine-digit A-number and country of birth. The other uses name, date of birth, and country of birth. The tool does not locate minors. Spelling, data timing, incomplete records, or coverage limits can produce no result, so absence cannot prove release.

1. Ask NWRCC whether ICE received custody and request the transfer details.
2. Search ODLS with the A-number and country of birth when available.
3. Otherwise use the person’s full name, birth date, and country of birth.
4. Match the result carefully and note the date checked.
5. Use ICE or EOIR for detention or immigration case questions within each system’s scope.

EOIR case information concerns immigration proceedings, not physical location, and requires the A-number. ODLS concerns covered detention location, not the reason NWRCC custody ended. Both may be needed, but neither replaces the originating regional-jail transfer record.

ICE Custody Records Contact

For the local handoff, request public transfer or release data from TCCC’s responsible authority. Ask when NWRCC custody ended, under what authority, and which agency received the person. For current immigration detention questions, use ICE ODLS and the official detention information line. The research cautions that contact details should be checked against the current official page.

A focused TCCC request can cite Minnesota public arrest and permanent-jail-record provisions for the transfer date, basis, and recipient. Keep an A-number and birth details private and provide them only through official channels. If an office withholds information, ask for the governing classification and narrow the request to the public handoff fields.

ICE Civil Custody Scope

ICE detention is federal civil immigration custody. It is not a county jail sentence, MNDOC state imprisonment, or BOP federal imprisonment. A Red Lake County arrest may precede an ICE handoff, but the systems retain separate records. NWRCC documents the end of its custody, and ICE handles its detention record. The Red Lake County court file may still explain the local criminal case.

No successful matching ICE image appears in the manifest, so the custody route is presented without a borrowed screenshot. This avoids using an unrelated portal as decoration. The most useful proof remains the NWRCC transfer response paired with a dated ODLS result or official ICE confirmation.

ICE No-Result Record Limits

An ODLS no-result has several possible meanings. The name may be misspelled, the A-number may be incomplete, the record may not yet have posted, or the person may be outside locator coverage. The tool also excludes minors. None of those outcomes shows that the person was released into the community.

Return to the last known custodian. If NWRCC held the person, ask whether the facility transferred custody and to whom. A dated response naming ICE is stronger than an inference from a roster disappearance. Then ask ICE through its official channels for current routing. If immigration proceedings are the question, use EOIR with the A-number rather than treating an ODLS screen as a case-status record.

Note: A no-result screen is an unresolved search result, not a release certificate.

Request ICE Transfer Records

The strongest local request asks for a narrow chain of custody: NWRCC booking or incarceration date, time custody ended, legal authority for the change, transfer recipient, and any public destination field. Minnesota Statutes sections 13.82 and 641.05 help identify the requested release and transfer information. Electronic delivery reduces copy handling, though no fixed TCCC fee or turnaround was found.

ICE records follow federal procedures rather than Minnesota’s Data Practices Act. Use the official federal record process for ICE-held documents, and use the Red Lake County court or sheriff only for records those offices created. Keeping requests with the right custodian is faster and prevents one agency’s partial answer from being mistaken for the whole custody story.

ICE and NWRCC Release Differences

NWRCC is the regional adult jail serving Red Lake County. ICE is a federal immigration custodian. The public NWRCC roster updates on weekday mornings and has no release fields. A person can vanish from that current PDF after an ICE transfer, another warrant pickup, community release, or other custody change. Comparing PDFs cannot identify which event occurred.

The correct path is sequential: confirm the NWRCC outcome, search ICE if named, and keep the Red Lake County court case for the local legal record. The NWRCC release and transfer page explains the regional starting point. This two-system method answers where the person went without turning a county-jail release label into a claim of freedom.

Confirm ICE Release Records

An ICE search should preserve the chain between local and federal custody. Record the date and time NWRCC says its custody ended, the legal basis, and the agency that received the person. Then record the date, spelling, and identifiers used in ODLS. These details matter because a transfer can post in the two systems at different times.

If ODLS returns a match, treat it as current federal detention information within the tool’s scope. It does not explain the Red Lake County arrest or local court outcome. If ODLS returns no match, contact ICE through an official channel and ask for routing. Do not publish the A-number, birth date, or country-of-birth details used to search.

Immigration case status and detention location are separate questions. EOIR’s automated case system addresses proceedings and generally uses the A-number. ICE addresses detention. TCCC addresses the NWRCC handoff. The Red Lake County court addresses the county criminal case. One office’s silence cannot settle the records maintained by another.

When written proof matters, ask TCCC for the public transfer entry and use the federal records process for ICE documents. A request should identify the custody period and narrow fields sought. If information is withheld, ask for the cited rule or exemption. A limited response may reflect privacy, security, or an active matter, not community release.

The safest conclusion uses exact language: NWRCC custody ended and ICE was identified as recipient; ICE ODLS showed a covered detention result on the date checked; or current ICE location could not be confirmed. Avoid saying “released” without naming which custodian released the person and whether another authority took custody.
