Check ICE Pecos Releases

ICE Pecos Is Not a Jail

The current ICE Pecos Check-in Office is not an overnight detention facility. ICE lists it as a check-in location serving Reeves and other counties. A reporting appointment can show that a person is physically in the community while an immigration case or supervision process continues.

The office is at 67 S. Frontage IH-20W, Pecos, Texas. Its published telephone is 432-445-8300, and hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Recheck the ICE directory before travel because office schedules can change.

Historic Pecos Hold Room

A historical ICE audit describes a different Pecos Hold Room at 250 E. Palmer Road. It was used for brief processing and transport, commonly one to four hours, with no overnight stays. That historical function and address must not be merged with the current check-in office.

The audit is evidence about the period it covers. It does not prove that the hold room operates today or that a person reporting at the current office was held there. Date and label any reference to it.

Search ICE Pecos Release Status

Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, known as ODLS, for current detention and some releases from ICE custody during roughly the prior 60 days. Search promptly because it is not a permanent release archive.

1. Use the nine-digit A-number and country of birth when available.
2. Pad leading zeros as the locator instructs.
3. Otherwise enter exact first and last name, country of birth, and optional birth date.
4. Compare identifiers and record the displayed facility or status.
5. Use ICE's information line when the result is absent or unclear.

ODLS excludes children under 18, and records can be absent for other reasons. A negative result after the recent-release window does not prove ICE never detained or released the person.

Call About ICE Pecos Custody

The ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line is 1-888-351-4024. Published service is Monday through Friday, except federal holidays, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern, with language assistance. Have the A-number, full name, country of birth, and birth date ready.

The current Pecos office number is appropriate for appointment logistics tied to that office. It should not be treated as a national detention locator or as a records office for every past Reeves County immigration case.

Reeves Release Can Mean ICE Transfer

An ICE detainer asks a local agency to notify ICE before ordinary release and keep the person for up to 48 additional hours for transfer. ICE describes detainers as requests rather than mandatory commands. The receiving-agency field and transfer record matter.

A Reeves County Jail PDF row marked RELEASED proves exit from the county jail. It does not always prove return to the community. If ICE assumes custody, the county event is one system's release and another system's admission.

The official ICE detainer explanation shows the agency's description of this transfer tool:

Search ODLS after a suspected transfer. Ask the Reeves Sheriff's records clerk for the custody disposition, receiving agency, and transfer date when the daily report does not explain the destination.

Confirm an ICE Pecos Release

An ODLS recently released result is positive ICE evidence within that system's limited display period. Pair it with ICE release papers when reporting instructions or the exact event matter. Those papers may identify the next check-in location and time.

A check-in appointment does not mean the person remains detained. It can indicate release into the community under an immigration process. Likewise, the end of ICE custody does not resolve every court date or reporting duty.

For an immigration-court case, use the EOIR case channel and the person's filed papers. ODLS answers custody location and recent release, while the immigration court record answers case status. Do not substitute one for the other.

ICE, BOP, and USMS Differ

BOP Locator is for federal prison custody, not ICE civil detention. A past BOP date shows the end of BOP custody but cannot rule out a later ICE transfer. Federal supervised release can also continue after prison.

USMS controls many federal pretrial custody movements and has no public locator like BOP. A person housed in a local or contract building may remain a USMS prisoner. Search the Western District of Texas docket for release, bond, commitment, or judgment records.

The current ICE check-in office, historic hold room, legacy RCDC complex, and Pecos federal court are four different institutions. Sharing a city does not merge their records.

Pecos Federal Court Records

The Western District of Texas Pecos Division clerk's office is at 410 S. Cedar St., Pecos, TX 79772, telephone 432-445-4228. Published hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central. PACER provides party and case searches after registration.

A federal docket can show a bond order, judgment, commitment, or supervised-release term. It does not always show the moment ICE completed a transfer or release. Pair the docket with ODLS, BOP, USMS, or ICE paperwork according to the custodian.

PACER's current fee policy controls access costs. Specific-court data can update sooner than the national index. Search by exact identity and cause number when possible.

ICE Pecos Detainer Records

For an older ICE event beyond the ODLS window, use ICE FOIA for a defined existing record. Give the A-number, exact name, date range, former location, and the release or transfer record sought. Privacy and law-enforcement exemptions apply.

Do not ask ICE to create a narrative or custom list. Ask for the release document, transfer record, or custody history that is maintained. Keep a copy of the request and identify preferred electronic format.

For the county side of a transfer, send a separate focused request to Reeves County Sheriff's records staff. One agency may document the county exit while another documents the immigration admission.

RCDC Is Not ICE Pecos

No authoritative current source in this research established Reeves County Detention Center III or the old I and II complex as a present ICE detention prison. Old federal contract references must not be converted into a current immigration custody claim.

GEO reported that the BOP I/II contract ended in May 2021, and BOP ended its privately managed prison contracts by late 2022. County directory listings remain online but do not establish active custody.

For a former federal prisoner, search BOP by person. For a current immigration question, search ODLS. For a community appointment, use the current check-in listing. This person-and-custodian method prevents the most common Pecos search error.

ICE Pecos Release Records

A useful record answers who, which custodian, when, by what disposition, and where next. Capture the A-number, facility, release date, custody status, transfer information, and reporting instructions when lawfully available.

Roster absence is weak evidence. A name may be misspelled, a result may age out, or the person may move between systems. Two positive records are stronger, such as an ODLS recent-release result plus release paperwork, or a Reeves jail timestamp plus an ICE receiving record.

The Reeves County release guide explains the wider county, state, federal, and immigration record split. Use only the path that matches the person and custodian.
