PURPOSE OF ORDER:

 

The purpose of this order is to establish procedures and criteria for processing United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) judicial warrants.

 

SCOPE OF ORDER:

 

This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to, and/or working within, the Inmate Reception Center (IRC).

 

ORDER: 

 

An ICE Judicial Warrant is a true and factual judicial warrant holding the same validity as all other judicial warrants processed at IRC. ICE Judicial Warrants are issued and signed by a United States Magistrate Judge. This differs from federal civil or administrative detainers, which are issued by an ICE Agent (typically using ICE Form I-200 or I-205); Department members shall not transfer inmates into the custody of ICE based solely on civil or administrative detainers.

 

 

DUTIES:

 

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Judicial Warrant Procedure:

Inmate with an ICE Warrant

  • An ICE Judicial Warrant is the same as an out-of-county Warrant hold except:
    1. IRC is unable to accept inmates who have Federal charges only. When arresting a person on Federal charges only, including ICE Judicial Warrants, the inmate shall be taken to the Federal Detention Center, located at 300 N. Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles California, 90012.  The phone number is: 213-4830-4925.                                                                     

For ICE judicial warrants, arresting agencies can also call the Law Enforcement Service Center at 802-872-6020.

    1. The “ICE Notification” form shall be used when the hold is placed, and the “ICE Availability” form shall be used when the inmate is made available for pick up. At no time shall the “Notification Hold” form or “Notice of Availability” form be used. 

 

Inmates Eligible for Release

 

  • The Warrants and Detainers Clerk informs ICE that the inmate is available for transfer. Inmate availability does not expire under California Penal Codes 821 and 822.

 

  • ICE agents shall notify the Warrants and Detainers Clerk of their intent to take custody of the inmate on a given date.

 

  • The Warrants and Detainers Clerk will process the Inmate as an “In Custody” release.

 

Custody Line Procedures

 

  • The Custody Line deputy notifies the Release clerk of the “In Custody” release and returns the record jacket to the Release clerk.

 

  • Upon receipt of the record jacket, for ICE “In Custody” release inmates, the Document Control Release clerk shall utilize the RL-13 screen in the Automated Justice Information System (AJIS) to facilitate the release of the inmate’s booking number, using the release reason “CUST USIM.”

 

  • When all aspects of the release process are complete, the inmate shall be released to the ICE agent.
