Check Marshall ICE Releases

Marshall County ICE Release Scope

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a federal custody system that can receive a person after county detention, but it does not operate a detention center found within Marshall County. The official source sweep also found no evidence of a Marshall County ICE detention agreement. Those negative findings should be stated narrowly. They do not prove that ICE could never take custody of a person arrested or jailed in the county.

The key is to name each custodian. The Marshall County Sheriff can document a release to the community or a transfer to ICE. ICE can document its later custody and release. A court can explain a state or federal order within its case, but a docket entry is not a substitute for the physical handoff time. The Minnesota DOC Viewer does not search immigration detention.

Search Marshall ICE Release Status

The ICE Online Detainee Locator System, commonly called ODLS, offers two search routes. The first uses an A-Number with country of birth. The second uses exact biographical name, date of birth, and country of birth. Correct spelling and identifiers matter. An A-Number is an immigration file number and is often the better match key when lawfully known.

1. Open ODLS and select the A-Number or biographical search route. Choose the interface language needed.
2. For an A-Number search, enter the complete number and country of birth. For a name search, use the exact name, date of birth, and country of birth.
3. Review the result for present ICE custody or a recent ICE release. Children under 18 do not appear in the locator.
4. Reconcile the identity with the Marshall County sheriff transfer record. Similar names are not enough.
5. If the event falls outside ODLS's short window, use the ICE records process instead of treating no result as proof.

The official ICE locator explanation describes the two identity routes, the required data, and the system's current and recent-release scope.

Note: Use exact biographical details because spelling differences can prevent a valid ODLS name search from returning a match.

Marshall County ICE Transfers

A name disappearing from the Marshall County jail roster does not reveal an ICE handoff. The roster is a current morning snapshot without release date, release reason, receiving agency, archive, or recent-release window. Call the jail and ask whether the person was released to the community, transferred, or never held there. Provide the full name and approximate booking date.

If ICE received the person, request the public transfer fields under Minnesota Statutes section 13.82, subdivision 2(h). Those fields include the date and time of transfer, legal basis, and receiving agency or person. They establish when county custody ended and identify the next custodian. They do not establish when ICE later released the person or what happened in the immigration matter.

If the sheriff record instead states release under subdivision 2(i), obtain the date, time, and legal basis for that county release. Do not recast a community release as an ICE transfer without a recipient field. The Marshall County Jail release record route explains how to request these physical departure facts.

Note: A detainer or hold can affect the next custody step, but only a matched agency record establishes what actually occurred.

Marshall ICE Released Status

An ODLS result showing a recent release means release from ICE custody. It does not, by itself, resolve the person's Minnesota criminal case, show full discharge from another sentence, or establish the end of every immigration requirement. Likewise, a county transfer to ICE means only that the person left the sheriff's custody for the named federal authority.

Keep the timeline explicit: booked or held by Marshall County Jail, transferred to ICE on the sheriff's recorded date, held or processed by ICE, and released by ICE on the federal agency's date when confirmed. If a federal court case or petition affected the event, the public docket may explain the order. The physical ICE release remains an agency custody fact.

Transfer

Movement from Marshall County custody to ICE or another custodian, not release to the community.

Detainer

A request or hold connected to another authority that may affect release from the first custodian.

A-Number

An immigration file identifier used with country of birth in ODLS.

ICE release

Departure from ICE custody, which is separate from the state case and other possible authority.

Marshall ICE Release Record Requests

ODLS has a limited time horizon. ICE says it covers people currently in custody or released within the last 60 days. When an older event is at issue, use ICE Freedom of Information Act procedures or SecureRelease. Historical access can depend on identity, authorization, privacy interests, and applicable exemptions.

A focused request should identify the person, A-Number when known, country of birth, approximate Marshall County transfer date, and the exact ICE custody or release records sought. Include proof of identity or authorization when the agency requires it. Retain the sheriff transfer response because it ties the county event to the federal recipient and helps define the date range.

The federal record may be redacted or limited. Ask for the specific custody dates, location history, transfer, and release event rather than an undefined full file. If the agency withholds information, the response should identify the basis available under its process. No result in ODLS after the display window is not proof that ICE never held the person.

Note: Keep the sheriff transfer response with the ICE request so the receiving agency and approximate federal start date remain clear.

Marshall ICE and Court Records

The Marshall County court file can explain the state criminal matter that preceded county release or transfer. It may show charges, bond, disposition, sentencing, commitment, warrants, or probation events. It does not decide or report the federal immigration custody timeline. A state case can remain open after a person leaves the county jail.

If a federal court matter is known, use PACER and the U.S. District Court for Minnesota for public orders and docket events. A court order can explain legal authority, but the agency record should confirm the physical release. USMS and BOP are separate too. The BOP locator does not find an ICE detainee, and a USMS transport record does not by itself show ICE release.

Match Marshall ICE Release Identity

Identity matching is essential because ODLS name searches require exact details and people can share names. Use an A-Number when lawfully available. Otherwise reconcile exact name, date of birth, country of birth, county booking details, transfer date, and the receiving agency. Do not rely on a photo or a same-name result alone.

Preserve each system's “as of” time. The county roster generally updates in the morning, ODLS has its own current and recent-release coverage, and a court docket reflects filed actions rather than a live custody feed. A statement should identify both source and custodian: transferred from Marshall County Jail to ICE, presently located through ICE, or released from ICE on the confirmed date.

No Marshall County ICE Facility

The facility sweep found no ICE detention center physically located in Marshall County and no official proof of a county ICE jail agreement. This matters because users should not be directed to an invented local immigration facility. The actual holding site, if any, must come from ICE, a transfer record, or another official custodian.

A person can still have a Marshall County connection through arrest, a local jail stay, family ties, court proceedings, or an agency handoff. That connection does not turn ICE into a county facility. Use the sheriff for the county departure, ICE for immigration custody and release, and the correct court for legal orders. The systems may intersect, but their records remain separate.
