Lee ICE Release Boundaries
No official source located an ICE detention center in Lee County, and no evidence established a county ICE detention contract. This entry represents the national immigration-custody channel that can follow a Lee County departure. It must not be presented as a local building, roster, or jail program. ICE civil detention is separate from Lee County criminal custody, even when an immigration detainer affects where someone goes after the county booking ends.
A name can leave the adult Tiger roster because ICE took custody. That is a release from the Lee County booking to a federal civil custodian, not necessarily community release. The sheriff’s Arrest/Release Form may identify the county destination or disposition. ICE then controls its own custody and release status. A court order in the criminal case does not automatically clear immigration authority.
Search Lee ICE Releases
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System offers two search routes. One uses an A-number and country of birth. The other uses exact first and last name, country of birth, and a date of birth when useful. An A-number must contain nine digits, so add leading zeroes where needed. Preserve hyphens in names. Small spelling differences can change the result.
Follow these steps:
- Use the nine-digit A-number and country of birth when both are known.
- Otherwise enter the exact first and last name plus country of birth.
- Add date of birth to narrow a name match when the locator permits it.
- Read whether the result concerns current custody or an eligible recent release.
- Confirm the event with ICE or the named field office when timing or destination matters.
Under-18 records are not searchable in ODLS. Do not use adult name variants to work around that exclusion. Juvenile, safety, security, agency-discretion, spelling, data-delay, transfer, or removal conditions can also limit results.
Note: No ODLS result is not proof of release, removal, lack of custody, or absence of an immigration case.
Lee ICE Locator Fields
An ICE search is only as strong as the identity match. The A-number is the clearest discriminator. Name searches require exact spelling and country of birth, and date of birth can help separate similar names. A result should be saved with its access date and exact agency wording because recent-release visibility is limited.
| Search route | Required details | Main limit |
|---|---|---|
| A-number | Nine-digit A-number and country of birth | Wrong or incomplete number fails the match |
| Name | Exact first name, last name, and country of birth | Spelling and name order matter |
| Date of birth | Used with the name route when available | Still does not override exclusions |
| Recent release | Eligible ICE record in the retention period | Not a permanent archive |
The official ICE locator resource page documents the locator fields and recent-release limits.
The image shows the official federal source used for immigration custody checks. It does not establish that Lee County operates an ICE facility.
ICE Sixty-Day Release Window
ICE says ODLS retains information about some people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. That period is longer than Lee County’s 72-hour released feed, but it is still not a permanent release archive. “Some” matters. Records can be excluded or suppressed, and a data delay can affect a very recent event. Search failure should be described only as no public result located on the access date.
An eligible recent-release result answers ICE status. It does not prove how the prior Lee County booking ended, what the criminal court ordered, or whether another agency later took custody. Compare the ICE result with the sheriff Arrest/Release Form and any court disposition. If ICE release is followed by another custody record, both records can be correct.
Preserve the A-number, exact search form used, access date, and status wording. Avoid unnecessary copies of personal details. When the 60-day period passes, an official inquiry or authorized records route may be needed for historical confirmation.
Lee County to ICE
Start the custody timeline with the county record. Tiger’s Released Last 72hrs category shows that the county booking was placed in a recent-release view, but its detail may print Release Date: N/A and does not expose a release-reason field. The paid Arrest/Release Form is the better county source for the actual date and recorded transfer destination. A displayed bond does not prove bond-out when a detainer remains.
Then check ICE. A matched current-custody result can explain why the person left the Lee roster without returning to the community. A recent-release result can show departure from ICE later. If neither appears, ask whether another spelling, A-number, field office, transfer, removal, or exclusion affects public display. Do not convert the blank result into a status claim.
| Record | Custody question answered |
|---|---|
| Lee Sheriff form | When the county booking ended and its recorded destination |
| ICE ODLS | Current or eligible recent ICE custody status |
| Criminal court order | Legal action in the Lee or other criminal case |
| ERO response | Appropriate confirmation when ODLS is unresolved |
The Lee County released inmates search path explains the county record before a federal branch is followed.
Note: A county court release order may coexist with ICE authority because the two systems answer different legal questions.
Contact ICE About Release
When ODLS does not resolve the matter, use the ICE ERO field-office directory to identify the responsible Enforcement and Removal Operations office. ICE also lists the Detention Reporting and Information Line at 1-888-351-4024, Monday through Friday except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern. Call for ICE information, not the end of the Lee County booking.
ICE Information Route
Online Detainee Locator System
Use A-number/country or exact name/country search
DRIL: 1-888-351-4024
Monday through Friday, excluding holidays
8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern
Have the A-number, exact name, country of birth, date of birth when needed, and known custody location ready. Share only what is needed to match the person. If an attorney or authorized representative needs more detail, follow ICE identity and authorization rules. The public locator does not waive privacy restrictions.
Understand ICE Release Outcomes
ICE release can refer to several system-specific events. It may involve release from civil detention, immigration bond or parole, an alternative program, removal, or transfer. Research did not establish a single public Lee County label for those outcomes. Use the exact ODLS or ICE wording rather than guessing from the date or destination.
- Immigration detainer
- A request or hold that can affect where someone goes after local custody ends.
- Civil detention
- ICE custody under immigration authority, separate from a criminal jail sentence.
- Recent release record
- An eligible ODLS result retained for about 60 days.
- Removal
- An immigration outcome that is not the same as community release in Lee County.
- Alternative program
- A non-detention immigration arrangement that does not settle a separate criminal case.
A person may also remain subject to a county, state, or federal criminal hold. Compare dates across the responsible systems. “No longer in ICE custody” should not be expanded into “not in custody anywhere” unless every relevant custodian confirms that result.
Verify Lee ICE Release
A strong Lee County immigration release check names each transition. The sheriff record establishes departure from the adult jail. ODLS addresses ICE current custody and certain releases within its limited window. ERO is the fallback for an unresolved locator result. The court record explains the criminal order but does not replace the immigration record.
No local ICE jail should be inferred or added to the map. The national system appears here only because a documented detainer or transfer can connect a Lee County booking to ICE. If the public sources stop short, report that limit and seek confirmation from the record owner.
