ICE Transfer Release Meaning
An Irion or Tom Green jail may end its booking by transferring a person to immigration authorities. The local roster then reflects release from that jail, not return to the community. Ask for the detailed release code, receiving agency, transfer date, and destination before opening an immigration search.
No ICE detention facility or official ICE detention contract was documented in Irion County. The ICE route is relevant only when a detainer, transfer entry, case information, or other official evidence supports immigration custody. It is not a general fallback for every missing county roster name.
Search ICE Detainee Records
The official Online Detainee Locator System provides two main search paths. Use the A-number and country of birth for the most precise match. If the number is unavailable, use the exact name, date of birth, and country of birth.
- Obtain the local booking and transfer details.
- Search by A-number and country of birth when known.
- Try the exact biographical fields if necessary.
- Compare any result with the local transfer date and identifiers.
- Contact ICE ERO or the releasing jail when no result resolves the case.
Recent transfers can take time to appear, and some protected categories are not publicly locatable. Search variations carefully without treating a negative result as a final disposition.
ICE Locator Result Limits
ODLS answers a current location question within its coverage. It does not preserve a full history of every county handoff, short-term custody event, removal, or release. Removal from the locator can have several explanations.
| Evidence | What it supports | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| County transfer entry | Local handoff to ICE or another authority | Later immigration outcome |
| ODLS location | Current locatable ICE detention | Original county release reason |
| No ODLS result | No public current match found | Community release or removal |
| ERO confirmation | Agency-specific status within disclosure limits | Every court or county case outcome |
Pair the local record with the federal status. One system cannot certify the other system's event.
ICE and ERO Contact
Use the live ODLS result or official ICE field-office directory to identify the relevant Enforcement and Removal Operations office. Offices and detention locations can change, so no unsupported Irion field-office address should be inserted.

For the local side, contact Irion Sheriff and Tom Green with the booking number. Ask whether an ICE detainer existed, which agency received custody, and the actual transfer time.
County Release Versus ICE Transfer
A release code determines the correct next step. Bond, time served, or dismissal can permit community release when no other hold remains. An ICE detainer or transfer points to continuing federal immigration custody. A TDCJ commitment or federal criminal transfer belongs in another locator.
- Detainer
- A request or legal basis for another authority to assume or continue custody.
- A-number
- An immigration identifier used for a precise ODLS search.
- ERO
- ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, the division handling detention and case operations.
- Removal
- An immigration disposition that is not the same as release into the community.
Never translate the local word “Released” without the destination field. The record may describe only the end of one jail's responsibility.
Irion's Two-Agency Release Chain
TCJS reports zero rated capacity for Irion, its housed-elsewhere evidence points to Tom Green, and Irion's official roster navigation sends users to the Tom Green interface. A possible ICE case can therefore involve Irion arrest authority, Tom Green physical detention, and a later federal immigration handoff.
Keep each booking and agency distinct. Commercial claims about a stand-alone operating Irion jail erase the provenance needed to locate the correct transfer record.
ICE Release Verification Path
Start with the Irion Sheriff to confirm the arrest and physical holding location. Search both Tom Green roster views and preserve any released card. Then request the detailed release or transfer record, including holds and receiving agency. Only after the record points to ICE should ODLS and ERO become the primary live-status channels.
If the local record does not identify ICE, search the system that it does identify. TDCJ covers state prison, BOP covers federal sentences, and the county court explains local bond or disposition.
Historical ICE Transfer Proof
ODLS is not designed as a permanent archive. For an old event, request the local release or transfer entry and the court record. Ask ICE through its official process for the relevant disposition when disclosure rules permit. A dated local entry is the strongest proof that the county handed custody to ICE at that moment.
The Irion County release-record search explains the complete chain and why a live roster alone cannot settle a past release. The U.S. Marshals and BOP paths apply to federal criminal custody, not immigration detention.
Correct ICE Transfer Data
Direct an Irion arrest or transfer error to the Sheriff and a Tom Green booking-card error to Tom Green. Direct an ODLS or ICE record concern through the federal agency's current contact. Include the A-number or booking number, exact field, and supporting document.
Ask for a written response where available. Separating custodians prevents a correction to one record from being mistaken for proof about another system. It also keeps the final account clear about arrest, physical jail release, federal transfer, immigration detention, and later disposition.
ICE Detainer Record Fields
Request the full name, booking number, arrest date, transfer time, detainer agency, identifier, receiving agency, destination, and code legend. Ask for any segregable public part if a field is withheld. Keep the request tied to one booking and one handoff. A broad name request can mix unrelated events.
The local entry remains useful after ODLS changes because it proves the handoff at a recorded time. ICE owns the later immigration status. A local dismissal or bond does not erase a separate immigration hold, and an immigration disposition does not rewrite the Irion court record.
ICE BOP and USMS
ICE ODLS concerns immigration detention. BOP Locator concerns federal criminal imprisonment. USMS manages federal prisoner custody through a network that can include local facilities. Absence from one system is not evidence for another. Read the receiving-agency field before choosing a locator.
“ICE” points to ODLS and ERO. A federal criminal commitment points to the federal docket, USMS, and possibly BOP. A state commitment points to TDCJ. Another county points to that county's jail. This custody-first method prevents a local release label from being mistaken for community return.
Historical Immigration Transfers
ODLS is not a permanent release archive. For an old event, obtain the Irion arrest or transfer entry, Tom Green physical release record, and the court disposition. Then use the official ICE records route for later detention or disposition information within disclosure limits. Preserve the A-number and exact biographical match.
A missing current locator result can reflect release, transfer, removal, data lag, spelling, or coverage restrictions. State only what each official record shows. The local transfer entry confirms the county handoff; it does not predict or certify the final immigration outcome.
Trace an Irion ICE Transfer
Record the exact local custody chain before relying on ODLS. Call Irion Sheriff to confirm the arrest, processing, and physical housing site. Search both Tom Green roster views and preserve any booking number or Released card. Ask Tom Green for the detailed release code, transfer time, receiving agency, detainer, and destination. Only an entry pointing to ICE justifies treating immigration custody as the next layer.
Search ODLS by A-number and country of birth when possible. A biographical search needs exact name, birth date, and country of birth. Recent transfers can lag, names can vary, and protected categories may not appear. If the result is missing, contact the relevant ERO office and the releasing jail. Do not state that the person entered the community or was removed solely because the locator is blank.
ODLS supplies current location within its coverage, not a historical county-release ledger. A county transfer entry proves that local custody ended through a handoff at that time. It does not prove the later immigration outcome. Conversely, an ICE result does not explain the legal disposition of the Irion criminal case. Obtain the court order separately.
If the receiving agency is USMS or BOP rather than ICE, use the federal criminal route. If it is TDCJ, use the statewide prison record. If it is another county, contact that jail. No ICE facility or contract was documented in Irion, so generic claims about local immigration detention must not replace the official transfer evidence. The final account should name every agency and the limited event each record proves.
