ICE Releases in Aurora
ICE lists the Denver Contract Detention Facility at 3130 North Oakland Street in Aurora, with a facility phone number and Denver field office contact. GEO's facility page identifies the same address as the Aurora ICE Processing Center and lists ICE and USMS as clients. A person released or transferred from this facility should not be searched as an Arapahoe County jail release unless the person was separately booked into the county jail.
ICE custody may end in release, transfer, removal, movement to another detention location, or another agency's custody. Immigration court records may explain proceedings, but they are separate from jail booking records. EOIR's Aurora Immigration Court is also listed at the North Oakland Street facility location.

How to Confirm ICE Custody
Use ICE's Online Detainee Locator System for people currently in ICE custody or covered by the locator's detention sources. ICE's locating guidance says the locator operates online at all times. The locator is not a full immigration case file, so a no-match or released status should be paired with facility, field-office, immigration-court, or counsel information when documentary confirmation is needed.
- Search ICE ODLS at locator.ice.gov with the person's available identifiers.
- Contact the facility at 303-361-6612 or the ICE Denver field office at 720-873-2899 when the locator is not enough.
- Check EOIR Aurora Immigration Court records or hearing information for immigration-case status.
- Use BOP or USMS channels if the issue is federal criminal custody rather than civil immigration detention.
- Use Arapahoe sheriff records only when a separate county jail booking exists.

EOIR lists the Aurora Immigration Court at the GEO Detention Center location, with public hours and filing-window hours in the research file. Immigration court status and ICE detention status answer different questions, so both may be needed.
ICE, USMS, and Detainers
This facility creates the most important Arapahoe detainer distinction. A person can leave the county jail and still be in federal or immigration custody. GEO identifies ICE and USMS as clients for the Aurora facility, while the U.S. Marshals Service handles federal prisoners from arrest through acquittal or incarceration. Use the authority named in the record, not the nearest local jail search.
A county release followed by an ICE hold can look confusing because the person may disappear from the Arapahoe current inmate lookup while still being held at the Aurora ICE facility or another immigration detention location. The county jail release record may show the transfer or release from county custody. It will not replace ICE detention information, immigration court records, attorney communication, or field-office routing for the next custody step.
ICE Release vs County Release
Denver Contract Detention Facility records must be kept separate from Arapahoe County jail records. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office records a county booking and county release. ICE records civil immigration detention, transfers, and release from ICE custody. EOIR immigration court records explain hearing and case status. BOP records federal prison custody. USMS records federal pretrial or prisoner movement. A single person may touch more than one of those systems, but each system keeps its own record.
| Custody question | Use this source |
|---|---|
| Currently in ICE detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System and facility contacts. |
| Immigration court status | EOIR Aurora Immigration Court records. |
| County jail release before ICE | Arapahoe County Sheriff's Records Unit. |
| Federal prison release | BOP inmate locator and BOP records. |
| Federal pretrial custody | USMS or federal court context. |
Use the order of custody events. If county jail came first, the sheriff can confirm the county release. If ICE custody followed, ICE or EOIR must confirm the immigration side. If BOP or USMS is involved, federal criminal records are separate from both the sheriff and immigration court.
Aurora Immigration Court Records
The research identifies EOIR's Aurora Immigration Court at the North Oakland Street detention location. Court records and ICE detention records answer different questions. ICE can route detention and custody-status questions. Immigration court records explain hearing, filing, and case-status issues. A person may be released from detention while an immigration case continues, or transferred while a court matter remains pending.
For written confirmation, avoid treating an ODLS result as a full case file. A locator match can help identify custody status, but documentary proof may require the facility, ICE field office, attorney, family notification channel, EOIR process, or federal records. If the person also had an Arapahoe County criminal case, the Colorado Judicial Branch and sheriff records may still be needed for the local case history.
Aurora ICE Release Outcomes
Aurora ICE custody can end in several ways. The person may be released from detention, transferred to another ICE facility, removed from the United States, moved under a federal criminal process, or released while immigration court continues. None of those outcomes is proven by the Arapahoe County jail lookup unless the person was separately booked into the county jail before or after ICE custody.
Use the record trail in order. Start with ODLS for detention status. Use the Aurora facility or Denver field office when the locator is not enough. Use EOIR for immigration court status. Use BOP or USMS if the case moved into federal criminal custody. Use the sheriff only for a county booking or county release. That sequence keeps an ICE release from being mistaken for a county jail release.
When asking for information, include the person's full name, date of birth if known, country of birth if requested by the official system, alien registration number if known, and the facility name. More exact identifiers reduce the risk of no-match results in federal systems. If a local criminal case also exists, keep a separate list of the Arapahoe court case number and booking details because ICE and court records are maintained by different custodians and separate public offices.
