ICE Releases Linked to Beaver
The Facility Map identifies the ICE detention network as a possible next custodian, not a jail located in Beaver County. A person may leave Beaver County Correctional Facility because an immigration detainer or federal transfer takes effect. That movement ends the local jail's custody. It does not establish community release.
Trace both events. Beaver Corrections or Sheriff's Records can identify the county movement date, stated event type, and receiving agency when releasable. The ICE system then answers whether the person is detained in its network or was recently released from ICE custody. An immigration proceeding can continue after physical release, so a locator result should not be described as the end of the case.
“Released by Beaver County” and “released by ICE” can be two different dates with another period of custody between them.
Search an ICE Release
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System offers two official search paths. Use an A-number when it is known because it is the strongest direct identifier. ICE also permits a biographical search when the number is unavailable.
- Choose the A-number path or the name path on the official locator.
- For an A-number search, enter the nine-digit number and country of birth. Add a leading zero when the known number has only eight digits.
- For a name search, enter the exact first and last name plus the requested biographical details.
- Compare the result to county, court, and case identifiers. Do not accept a name-only match without more support.
- Read whether the result concerns current detention or a recent ICE release, then confirm urgent facts through the named official channel.
The locator excludes people under eighteen. The official attorney resources say it also covers people released from ICE custody during the prior sixty days. Once that period passes, an absent result does not prove that ICE never held or released the person.
ICE Release Search Fields
Each search route uses a distinct set of inputs. Keep these identifiers with the county movement and immigration case rather than merging all dates into one release record.
| Field | Purpose | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| A-number | Direct immigration identifier | Must be nine digits for the locator |
| Country of birth | Required with the A-number route | Must match the agency record |
| Exact first and last name | Starts a biographical search | Spelling and name order matter |
| Other biographical details | Help distinguish similar names | A mismatch can hide a valid record |
| Custody or recent-release result | Describes the ICE event | Does not describe prior Beaver custody |
A locator result does not replace the underlying immigration file, court record, or Beaver jail movement. It is a current or recent status channel with a defined scope.
Confirm the Beaver Transfer
Start with Beaver's own record when the person was booked locally. The official Corrections page identifies the local custodian. Call Corrections at 435-438-6497 or Sheriff's Records at 435-438-2467. Ask whether the last movement was a community release, a transfer, or execution of another hold. If informal confirmation is unavailable, use the county's online GRAMA form.
A focused Beaver jail-record request should identify full name, date of birth if known, booking or case number, and a tight date range. Ask for the custody-event log, actual movement date and time, stated release type, authority for the move, and destination or receiving agency. Request existing fields. The office need not create an explanation that is not already in its records.
Utah GRAMA generally requires a response as soon as reasonably possible and no later than ten business days, subject to extraordinary circumstances. Beaver acknowledges that fees may apply but publishes no universal charge for this record. Ask for electronic delivery and a cost estimate.
County and ICE Release Records
The county and federal records should be kept side by side. They document a custody chain, not competing versions of one event.
| Question | Correct source |
|---|---|
| When did Beaver custody end? | Beaver custody-movement or release entry |
| Was another agency named? | Receiving-agency field in the county record |
| Is the person in ICE detention? | ICE Online Detainee Locator |
| Was there a recent ICE release? | ICE locator within its stated recent-release scope |
| What happened in the immigration matter? | The relevant immigration proceeding or official case record |
A county court order may explain the local criminal case but does not decide federal immigration custody. Likewise, an ICE result does not provide Beaver's door time, local bond details, or the reason local charges changed.
When ICE Results Are Missing
A negative locator search is inconclusive. The name may differ, the A-number may be wrong, data may lag, the person may be outside the tool's age scope, or the release may be older than the recent window. The person may also be with another federal, state, or county authority.
Review the Beaver movement for the exact receiving agency. Check the criminal docket for the local disposition. If the movement names USMS rather than ICE, use the federal docket and a focused Marshals FOIA request. If it names UDC, use the state offender search, Board records, and Utah VINE. Never treat silence in one system as proof of community release.
- Detainer
- An authority or request that can cause another custodian to take over when local custody ends.
- Transfer
- A physical move where custody continues with a receiving agency.
- A-number
- The immigration identifier used in the ICE locator and case records.
- Community release
- An exit from the named custodian without an immediate transfer shown in that movement.
ICE Release Timing Limits
The official recent-release scope is a search window, not a record-retention rule. A person who disappears after sixty days may still have an agency record. The locator also does not promise one permanent public label for every past event.
For older federal immigration custody, identify the agency and request the particular existing record through its official process. State the desired time range, identifiers, facility or transfer if known, and the movement or release fact sought. Privacy and law-enforcement restrictions may limit disclosure. A denial or redaction should be read in context instead of filled with assumptions.
ICE Release and Case Status
Physical release from ICE detention and the status of an immigration proceeding are not the same fact. The locator can signal that the named custodian no longer holds a person. It does not decide whether a hearing remains set, whether reporting conditions apply, or how the proceeding will end. Use the official case or counsel route for those legal questions.
This difference mirrors the Beaver County distinction between a court order and the jail movement. A legal record can authorize or explain an event, while the custodian records when the person actually moved. Preserve both dates and label each one. A Beaver release date, an ICE intake date, an ICE release date, and a later case date may all be valid without being interchangeable.
The official ICE attorney resources describe the locator's current and recent-release coverage. They also provide context for people working through the legal process. The public lookup remains a limited custody tool, not a full immigration docket.
Match an ICE Release Identity
Name spelling, ordering, transliteration, and birth information can affect a search. Begin with the A-number when a reliable official record supplies it. When only a name is available, compare the result with the Beaver booking, receiving-agency entry, and case details before concluding that it concerns the same person.
A failed match should lead to a careful review, not a declaration of release. Check whether the number needs a leading zero, whether the country of birth matches the agency record, and whether the exact recorded name differs from the familiar form. If a county movement names an agency but the locator does not return a result, contact the appropriate official channel with the identifiers already collected.
Do not combine records from two people to fill missing fields. Keep uncertainty visible until the custodian or case record resolves identity.
Beaver Release Verification Path
A careful verification follows the person from one custodian to the next. That approach avoids the common mistake of calling a local transfer a return home.
- Save the Beaver booking and case identifiers.
- Obtain the local movement and receiving-agency fields.
- Search the official ICE locator using the strongest available identifier.
- Match the ICE result to the same person and read its limited status.
- Check the relevant legal proceeding for case context.
- Seek an older official record when the public locator no longer covers the event.
The Beaver County released-inmate search explains how county, UDC, VINE, court, and federal paths fit together. This ICE page remains limited to the immigration custody branch.
