ICE Transfers from Ochiltree
An immigration detainer can lead to a county release transaction followed by federal civil custody. The Ochiltree historical card lacks the receiving-agency and destination fields needed to prove that route. Ask the Sheriff's Office for the release or transfer transaction. When it names ICE, move to the federal locator and Enforcement and Removal Operations contact path. Do not describe the person as released to the community unless the responsible record supports that result.
A transfer is a different result. The person may move to TDCJ after a felony sentence, to another county on a warrant, or into federal or immigration custody. In each case, the Ochiltree booking can close even though custody continues. The public InterOpWeb card uses the word RELEASED, but does not display a release reason, destination, receiving agency, or actual release time. State the narrow result accurately: the Ochiltree booking is marked released.
| Local exit | What to confirm | Next source |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or court release | Order and any open case | Court docket and sheriff record |
| Sentence complete | Release transaction and jail credit | Sheriff and sentencing court |
| State transfer | Receiving TDCJ custody | TDCJ offender search |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Receiving authority | BOP, USMS, or ICE route |
Search the ICE Detainee Locator
Open the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Search with an A-number and country of birth when those details are known, or use the biographical fields shown in the live form. Exact spelling and identity details matter. Recent processing, transfers, aliases, and differences in recorded data can prevent a match.
- Match the full name, arrest date, arresting agency, and available case or warrant details.
- Read the exact status. Save the booking details if the historical card says RELEASED.
- Ask the Sheriff's Office for the release or transfer transaction, including time, type, authority, and destination if recorded and public.
- Check the court docket for bond, dismissal, judgment, sentence, commitment, or another release order.
- When transfer is possible, confirm the next custody system before describing a community release.
ICE Information and FOIA
No dedicated online sheriff records form, fixed booking-photo fee, or promised response time was found in the project research. Call first to confirm the agency's current delivery method before sending sensitive identifiers. A request under Texas Government Code Chapter 552 should seek existing records, not ask the office to research a legal question or create a new report.
Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office511 S. Ash
Perryton, TX 79070
806-435-8000
Contact the office for the current records-request channel and hours.
Give the person's full name, arrest date, and booking or case number when known. Ask for the jail-register entry and booking-in or booking-out record. Request the release or transfer date and time, transaction type, releasing authority, and receiving or destination agency if those fields exist and are public. The Texas Attorney General requester guidance explains the state process. “Promptly” means within a reasonable time, not a guaranteed ten-business-day delivery date.
ICE Search Limits
The online card is a lead, not the full event record. It can show the name, status, age, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, bond and charge details, warrant information, and a booking image. Historical views observed in the research included the literal status RELEASED. Bond details may be redacted there.
- Release record
- The transaction that closes or transfers one custody episode.
- Detainer
- A request or legal basis for another authority to take or continue custody.
- Discharge
- Completion of a sentence or supervision obligation when the responsible record supports it.
- Transfer
- A change in custodial agency, not release to the community.
Do not infer a release date by subtracting “Days In Jail” from another date. Partial days, data rules, and transfers can alter that count. Arrest date is not release date. Bond does not show that money was posted, and charges are allegations rather than outcomes. The full record should be paired with the court disposition.
Ochiltree Immigration Custody Chain
A vanished web card does not mean the government record vanished. Texas State Library Local Schedule PS identifies the county jail register as permanent. Its minimum content includes the name, intake number, reason for confinement, and release or transfer date. Incarceration records, including booking-in, booking-out, transport, and release orders, generally carry a release-or-transfer-plus-two-years minimum in that schedule.
Those periods are retention floors, not promises that a record stays online or that every field is open without redaction. Expunction or another lawful order can override normal retention. Begin with the permanent jail-register entry when an old InterOpWeb result cannot be found. Then seek the booking-out record and destination field. The broader Ochiltree County released inmate search explains how county, court, and receiving-system proof fit together.
Does No ICE Result Mean Release?
Save the exact spelling and fields used in each search, along with the lookup date. That record helps an ICE information request distinguish a true no-match from an identity or timing problem in the live locator.
No. ICE ODLS is a current or recent detainee-location service, not a historical release archive. A no-result may reflect new processing, movement between facilities, an alias, a spelling difference, a record outside the covered population, or another data limit. Research did not support a fixed period for how long a released person remains displayed, so no display window should be promised. Return to the Ochiltree sheriff transaction and ask whether the destination or receiving agency is public. Then use ICE's information and FOIA route when the locator cannot resolve the custody question. Immigration custody is civil federal custody and should not be confused with a BOP sentence. Likewise, a county card marked released only closes the local booking. The phrase “released to the community” requires a source that supports that exact outcome.
Yes. An immigration detainer can produce a local release transaction followed at once by federal civil custody. This is the distinctive transfer risk in the Ochiltree County record. The historical card does not show the next custodian, so its RELEASED label cannot establish freedom from custody.
Ask whether a receiving agency appears in the sheriff's release record. If ICE is named, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator System with an A-number and country of birth, or with the biographical fields offered. Recent processing, transit, aliases, and data differences can cause no result. A no-result is not proof of release. Federal criminal custody instead calls for the BOP or USMS chain. Note: Always record the source and lookup date because custody databases and destination details can change.
