ICE Detention Release Records

To find someone released from ICE detention after leaving Davie County custody, use the federal immigration locator and keep each custody event separate. A county jail release followed by an immigration pickup is a transfer, not a return to the community. ICE detention is civil federal custody and does not appear in the state prison search. Recent ICE status, the Davie movement record, identity details, and the responsible immigration office may all be needed to confirm where the person went.

ICE Detention Release Meaning

No ICE-owned detention center or verified Davie County ICE detention contract was found in the reviewed official material. ICE Detention here names a federal system that may receive someone after local custody. It is not a physical Davie facility and is not controlled by the Sheriff.

The Davie portal includes INS among its Held For Agency choices. That proves the database can classify an immigration agency interest. It does not prove a current contract, a specific detainer, or the destination of any person. The jail movement record and ICE locator must establish those facts.

Event Meaning
Davie Release Date with ICE destination County custody ended and immigration custody began
Current ICE locator result ICE reports current searchable custody
Recent ICE released result ICE reports departure within its recent window
Not found No result, not proof of release

Search ICE Detention Records

Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. One search path uses a nine-digit A-number and country of birth. Add leading zeroes when the A-number has fewer digits. The other path uses exact first name, last name, date of birth, and country of birth.

  1. Collect the A-number from a reliable record if possible.
  2. Search the A-number with country of birth.
  3. If no number is known, enter exact biographical data and test documented aliases or spelling.
  4. Read the result as an ICE custody record, not as a criminal disposition.
  5. Contact the relevant Enforcement and Removal Operations office when the locator cannot resolve custody.
  6. Compare the ICE result with the Davie release or movement record.
Important: The locator excludes people under 18 and has limited recent-release coverage. A missing result cannot establish community release.

ICE’s current description covers people in custody and people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. That makes the locator a recent-status tool, not a permanent discharge archive. Older personal detention records may require an authorized FOIA or Privacy Act request.

ICE Release Search Limits

Not found has several possible causes. A recent release may have aged outside the 60-day window. The person may be under 18, the spelling or country of birth may differ, the A-number may lack a leading zero, or the person may fall outside searchable ICE coverage. None of those outcomes proves that ICE never held the person.

Exact identity data matters. Compare the A-number first. Then compare full name, aliases, birth date, country of birth, the Davie booking identifier, and movement date. Do not join two people based on a similar name. If the county and federal dates differ, keep both exact labels and ask each originating office.

A-number
The immigration registration number used for the most precise locator search.
Detainer
An agency notice or request related to taking custody.
Transfer
A move between custodians without community release.
FOIA
A federal process for requesting qualifying agency records.

Note: ICE’s locator is separate from the BOP locator, NCDAC offender search, and Davie Sheriff portal.

ICE Detention Contact Route

The locator is the first official route. When it does not resolve a current or recent case, use ICE detention-management information and the relevant Enforcement and Removal Operations field office. Provide the A-number, exact identity, country of birth, and known custody date. Avoid broad requests that lack a person or time range.

For older personal records, the proper federal request process may depend on identity and authorization. The public locator is not a permanent archive. The Davie Sheriff detention office cannot supply ICE’s later movement just because the first handoff began at the county jail.

If a family member needs the exact county handoff time and destination, use the Davie records-request route for the existing release or movement record. Then use the federal identifier with ICE. The Davie County release search explains the local record fields to request.

Davie ICE Transfer Verification

A sound verification follows the custody chain. First, find the matching Davie booking and Release Date. Next, read Held For Agency and ask for the release type and destination. Then search ICE with the A-number or exact biographical data. Finally, contact ICE if the online result is missing or unclear.

Question Best source
When did Davie custody end? Davie jail movement or release record
Who received the person? Destination and Held For Agency fields
Is ICE custody current or recent? ICE detainee locator
What happened in the criminal case? Davie or federal court record

A court release order can end criminal detention while immigration custody continues under separate authority. The jail roster cannot explain that later custody. Likewise, an ICE release result does not decide the underlying criminal case.

Use exact labels. A Davie Release Date, ICE release date, court order date, and notification timestamp are distinct. If only a date is published, do not invent an hour.

ICE Release Records Boundaries

ICE custody is civil immigration detention, while BOP holds sentenced federal prisoners and USMS controls many federal pretrial detainees. NCDAC handles state correction and supervision. Davie County Detention Center handles the local jail event. One person may cross more than one boundary, so each record proves only its own agency’s part.

Absence from one database means “not found in this system.” Move to the next applicable channel. Never rewrite that result as released, never held, or cleared. A county handoff to ICE should be described as release from Davie custody and transfer to ICE.

Arrest, detention, and transfer records do not prove guilt. Read the court disposition for the case result. Preserve privacy and use enough identifiers to prevent a same-name error.

A phone inquiry may identify the responsible field office, but it is not a durable movement record. Keep the county record and any ICE result. For personal federal records, follow the applicable identity and consent requirements rather than asking Davie County to produce records held by ICE.

NC SAVAN may report a county custody event, yet it cannot replace the ICE locator for the next system. Likewise, BOP does not cover civil ICE detention. Moving through each official source in sequence is the sound way to follow the person across agency lines.

The same caution applies to destination language. If the county row lists INS as Held For Agency but does not document a completed transfer, report only that notation. Ask detention for the movement result. Do not infer a detention site or release outcome from a portal menu choice. The receiving agency record must confirm the next custody event.

Note: The Davie portal’s INS choice is a routing clue, not proof of a particular immigration hold or contract.
