Aurora ICE Processing Center Custody Search

Releases from Aurora ICE Processing Center

Denver Contract Detention Facility / Aurora ICE Processing Center is a federal immigration contract facility in Aurora, not an Adams County Sheriff's Office jail. ICE lists the Denver Contract Detention Facility at 3130 Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010, with main phone 303-361-6612. GEO identifies the same location as Aurora ICE Processing Center at 3130 North Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010, and lists ICE and USMS clients. The facility is included here because it can be the next custody system after an Adams County jail transfer.

The release meaning changes when ICE is involved. A person can be released from Adams County Detention Facility because the Sheriff's Office no longer has physical custody, but that same person can remain detained by ICE. The county release record and the immigration custody record are different records. ACSO records answer when the county jail event ended and whether the person was released or transferred from the jail. ICE systems answer whether the person is currently in immigration custody or has been held in the relevant ICE custody window.

Do not use the Adams County Sheriff inmate search as the lookup route for this facility. The correct route is the ICE Online Detainee Locator, facility contact, immigration court or EOIR case information, and BOP checks when the person may be tied to federal criminal custody. If the question is "why did the person disappear from the Adams County jail search," first request the ACSO custody or transfer record. If the question is "is the person now held by ICE," use ICE sources.

How to Confirm ICE Custody or Release

Use this custody-specific route for Aurora ICE Processing Center. It keeps Adams County jail release records separate from immigration custody status.

1. Start with ACSO records if the person was first booked at Adams County Detention Facility and then left the county jail search.
2. Ask for a custody letter, jail record, or booking/release record that can show whether ACSO released the person, transferred the person, or noted another agency hold.
3. Use ICE's Online Detainee Locator for current ICE custody or qualifying recent CBP custody, searching by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date where available.
4. Call the Aurora facility at 303-361-6612 when facility contact is appropriate and public locator results do not answer the question.
5. Check EOIR or Aurora Immigration Court context when the issue is an immigration proceeding rather than physical detention alone.
6. Use the BOP locator if the person may have moved into federal criminal custody or has a federal release-date question.

ICE's locator is not a county release archive. USA.gov describes it as a tool for someone currently in ICE custody or someone who has been in CBP custody more than 48 hours. Search data can depend on identity details and custody timing. If an Adams County transfer is suspected, the county record is still needed to prove the transfer out of the jail.

Aurora ICE Facility Records and Contact

For this facility, the contact card should be read as an immigration and federal contract detention contact, not as a Sheriff's Office jail desk. ICE and GEO both identify the Aurora location, and GEO reports a facility capacity figure. The DOJ Aurora Immigration Court page is relevant because it is located at the same North Oakland Street address, but immigration court records are separate from physical custody records.

When the record needed is the county transfer out of Adams County Detention Facility, contact ACSO records at recordsrequest@adamssheriffco.gov and ask narrowly for a custody letter or booking/release record for the Adams County jail stay. When the record needed is immigration custody, use ICE and EOIR sources. When the record needed is federal prison custody or release date, use BOP.

About Denver Contract Detention Facility

ICE's facility source and GEO's operator source identify the Aurora facility as a federal immigration detention location. GEO lists Aurora ICE Processing Center with a capacity of 1,532 and clients ICE and USMS. That capacity is the only sourced figure in the facility research, so it belongs here rather than on the Adams County jail pages. The facility's role is federal and immigration custody, not county jail release administration.

The ICE facility screenshot shows the federal facility context readers should use instead of the Adams County jail roster.

The follow-up step after reviewing the facility source depends on the question. For current immigration detention, use ICE. For proceedings, use immigration court or EOIR resources. For the earlier county-jail transfer, use ACSO records. These are separate systems even when one custody event follows another.

ACSO Release Versus ICE Custody

An immigration detainer or transfer changes the meaning of "released" in Adams County research. The Adams County record may show the end of Sheriff's custody, while ICE may still show current detention. That is why the Aurora ICE facility page should not be framed as an Adams County roster substitute. It is a receiving-system check for certain transfer situations.

For example, if a person was booked into the Adams County Detention Facility, the Sheriff's inmate search may later stop showing the person. The next question is not simply whether the person is free. The next question is which event caused the name to drop from the jail search. Bond, court order, sentence completion, supervised release, transfer to CDOC, federal transfer, and immigration transfer all fit the Adams County research. ICE only answers the immigration custody branch.

ICE Locator and Federal Search Fields

The ICE Online Detainee Locator can be searched by A-number or by identity fields such as name, country of birth, and birth date, according to the research. Those fields differ from the Adams County jail search, which uses first name and last name, and from CDOC, which uses DOCNO, last name, first name, and gender. The field differences are a clue that these are separate custody systems, not different doors into the same database.

GEO, EOIR, and BOP Context

GEO's operator page is useful because it confirms the Aurora ICE Processing Center name, address, client context, and capacity. It does not replace ICE's detainee locator or EOIR case systems. The GEO page is a facility identification source, while ICE and immigration court paths answer custody and proceeding questions.

BOP is a different federal channel. The matched BOP screenshot belongs here because Adams County users can confuse federal prison release information with ICE detention and county jail transfer information.

BOP's own guidance says that if a listed release date is in the past and no facility is shown, the release occurred on that date and the person is no longer in BOP custody. BOP also warns that another justice system, parole, supervised release, or other custody may still apply. For Adams County users, that means a BOP release result does not answer whether ACSO, ICE, CDOC, or a court supervision system has separate information.

Why This Aurora Facility Matters Locally

The Aurora ICE Processing Center is included for the "where did they go?" problem. Adams County users may see a person stop appearing in the county jail search and need to know whether release meant community release, supervised release, CDOC transfer, federal custody, or immigration detention. Local reporting also placed the facility in an Adams County public-health context, but the release-record point is narrower: a county jail "release" can be followed by immigration detention that is checked in ICE systems.

Do not assume every immigration-related case goes to this facility. The facility is an important local custody-transfer caveat, not a universal destination. The best practice is to verify the county jail event through ACSO records first, then follow the receiving-system evidence. If the receiving-system evidence points to ICE, use ICE and EOIR. If it points to CDOC, use CDOC. If it points to BOP, use BOP.
