Imperial Regional ICE Search

Imperial Regional Releases

Imperial Regional Detention Facility is an immigration detention facility in Calexico. The research identifies it as an ICE detention facility with a private operator or facility contact. Because it is not a sheriff jail facility, a person held there does not become an Imperial County jail release merely because the building is in Imperial County. A release from Imperial Regional may mean release from ICE custody, release on immigration bond, release under an immigration order, removal, transfer to another ICE facility, transfer to another law-enforcement hold, or another immigration custody event.

This distinction matters when a person was first arrested or booked somewhere else. If the person left RADF, HHCC, or OFDF and then went to ICE, the sheriff record may show a county jail release or transfer. The ICE record then controls the immigration custody status. If the person later leaves Imperial Regional, the ICE locator and facility/ICE channels are the correct release path. A county jail roster or CDCR search will not answer that immigration release unless there is a separate criminal custody event.

Note: Release from a county jail to ICE is not the same as release from ICE custody.

Confirm ICE Release

The ICE locator is the main public tool for Imperial Regional Detention Facility. Research notes from ICE and legal-help sources describe the locator as covering people currently in ICE custody and, in some circumstances, people released recently from ICE custody. Because locator coverage and timing can be limited, use the facility contact and immigration case channels when the locator does not show a clear answer. The Imperial County released inmates search path should switch systems when the record changes from sheriff custody to ICE custody.

1. Open the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
2. Search by A-Number and country of birth when known, or use biographical search fields where available.
3. Confirm that the facility shown is Imperial Regional Detention Facility or another ICE site.
4. If no result appears, consider recent release, transfer, spelling differences, privacy limits, or lack of locator visibility.
5. Call the facility information line during the published detainee-information window when permitted, and use immigration court or counsel records for case status.

Imperial Regional Contact

The research lists Imperial Regional Detention Facility at 1572 Gateway Road, Calexico, CA 92231. The ICE facility search result lists detainee-information phone (760) 618-7200 and says to call between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for detainee information. ICE's direct page was difficult to fetch in the research environment, so the page should treat that phone and source as facility information from ICE search-result material and the manifest screenshot rather than overstate details not captured in the research.

When seeking a release record, identify the person with the strongest immigration identifiers available, especially A-Number if known. Ask whether the person is currently detained, released, transferred, removed, or subject to another hold. If the person came from an Imperial County jail facility first, request the sheriff booking or transfer record separately because ICE and county jail records answer different parts of the custody timeline.

About Imperial Regional

The facility page in the manifest is the ICE source for Imperial Regional Detention Facility. The release path is narrower than a county jail lookup. It is not about a public recent-release list, and it is not a CDCR offender search. It identifies whether a person is or was in ICE custody at Imperial Regional and what kind of custody event occurred. The key words are release, transfer, removal, bond, order, hold, and receiving facility.

The matched screenshot below comes from the ICE Imperial Regional Detention Facility page identified in the manifest.

The image supports the ICE-specific source route and keeps this facility separate from Imperial County Sheriff's jail records.

ICE Detainers and Transfers

Research Section 19 flags federal and immigration detention as a distinctive Imperial County facility angle. A person may be "released" from a county jail and then transferred to ICE, or may be released from ICE after a separate immigration process. Those are not the same event. The first is a county jail custody event. The second is an immigration custody event. The records should be read in sequence.

For example, an Imperial County sheriff booking record may show release or transfer from RADF, HHCC, or OFDF. If that transfer is to ICE, use the ICE locator and facility contact to check the next status. If ICE later transfers the person to another facility, the receiving ICE location becomes the next source. If ICE releases the person from immigration custody, the release paperwork and locator status may be the clearest proof.

ICE and Court Records

Immigration detention can overlap with criminal court records without becoming the same thing. The Imperial Superior Court case can explain a local criminal disposition, while a federal or immigration court channel may explain a different custody process. If the person was held first in Imperial County jail, check the Superior Court ROA for the local case. If the person has a federal case, check the federal court docket or USMS channel. If the person is in immigration proceedings, use the immigration custody documents and ICE contact path.

That split prevents a false negative. A person who is not in the county jail may still be in ICE custody. A person not found in ICE may have been released, transferred, removed, listed under different identifiers, or never entered ICE custody. The correct conclusion depends on the records from the system that actually held the person.

ICE Locator Limits

The ICE locator is a strong first step, but it is not a full release-record archive. Locator results can depend on current custody, recent release visibility, identifiers, spelling, age, and data timing. Use exact identifiers when possible. If the search is by name, compare all available details before assuming a match. If the locator does not show a person, move to facility contact, immigration case paperwork, counsel, court records, or the prior sheriff/federal source that transferred the person.

For Imperial Regional, the practical question is not just "released or not." It is released from what custody and to where. The answer can be community release, immigration bond, transfer, removal, criminal hold, or another custody event. Each has a different record trail.
