Locate Adelanto ICE Detainees

Adelanto ICE Custody Overview

The Adelanto ICE Processing Center is listed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at 10400 Rancho Road, Adelanto, CA 92301, with phone (760) 561-6100. The facility is an ICE civil immigration custody site operated through a detention facility arrangement, not a county jail. It should also be kept separate from High Desert Detention Center, a nearby San Bernardino County Sheriff's jail in Adelanto. The two facilities are geographically close, but their records, custody authority, and public lookup systems are different.

ICE civil detention is not a criminal jail sentence. A detainee may be held while immigration proceedings, removal steps, custody review, transfer, or other immigration processes are pending. Some people may have started in local criminal custody, but the public search route changes once ICE has custody. The San Bernardino County jail roster is built for people in Sheriff's custody. CDCR CIRIS is built for sentenced state prisoners. Adelanto ICE detainees should be searched through ICE ODLS and confirmed through ICE facility channels.

The facility can hold people connected to many counties and immigration-court jurisdictions, so San Bernardino County alone is not always the commitment or arrest point. That is another reason to avoid using a county-only roster as the primary source. ODLS searches ICE custody nationally by immigration identifiers and biographical details.

Adelanto ICE Detainee Lookup

The correct search tool for Adelanto ICE custody is the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ODLS is a custody locator, not a criminal court database, not a county booking-history search, and not a mugshot gallery. It can help locate a person currently in ICE custody by A-Number and country of birth or by biographical information. Because names, dates of birth, and countries of birth must match ICE records closely, search errors can occur when family members use nicknames, incomplete names, or guessed dates.

1. Open ICE ODLS and choose the A-Number route if the alien registration number is known.
2. Enter the A-Number and country of birth, or use biographical search with first name, last name, country of birth, and date of birth.
3. Review the result for the current ICE detention location and confirm whether it lists Adelanto ICE Processing Center.
4. Use the ICE facility page or facility phone for visiting, mail, attorney, and transfer questions.

The official ICE Adelanto facility page is the matching source for this custody location.

The facility page should be used with ODLS because ICE custody rules differ from both county jail and CDCR prison rules.

Adelanto ICE Contact

Use the ICE facility address and phone number for facility-specific questions. Do not call a San Bernardino County jail expecting county staff to confirm an ICE detainee's current housing, immigration case status, or transfer plan. If a person recently left county jail custody, the county roster may lag or show only the prior local booking. ICE may also transfer detainees between facilities, so ODLS and ICE contact information should be checked again before travel, attorney visits, mail, or money arrangements.

Adelanto ICE Visitation

Visitation for Adelanto ICE Processing Center is controlled by ICE facility rules, not by San Bernardino County jail visiting rules and not by CDCR prison visiting approval. ICE facility pages generally provide local visitation, attorney-visit, contact, and mail rules. Because detention status, housing, and transfer timing can change, visitors should confirm the person is still at Adelanto before traveling. Attorney and legal-visit rules may differ from social visitation rules.

Note: Confirm ODLS location and ICE visiting status before travel because ICE detainees can be transferred.

Adelanto ICE Mail

Mail and money rules for Adelanto ICE Processing Center come from ICE and the facility operator. Do not apply San Bernardino County jail money-order rules, iCare package rules, or CDCR family-resource rules to ICE detainees. ICE detention mail commonly requires the detainee's full legal name, an identifying number when available, and the correct facility address. Because ODLS does not function as a mail-instruction page, use the facility page and facility contact before sending documents, funds, or property.

ICE vs Jail Custody

San Bernardino County has several custody systems in the same region. West Valley, Central, Glen Helen, and High Desert are county jail facilities. They handle local bookings, pretrial custody, local sentences, and some holds. California Institution for Men and California Institution for Women are CDCR state prisons for sentenced people. Adelanto ICE Processing Center is a civil immigration detention facility. The search route depends on which system has custody at the time of the search.

A local arrest can still matter. It may explain why a person first appeared in a county jail record, why a detainer was lodged, or why a criminal case exists in court. But ODLS does not replace the court portal, and the county roster does not replace ODLS after ICE custody begins. For local custody before transfer, use the San Bernardino County jail inmate records route. For current ICE detention, use ODLS.

Adelanto ICE Intake

Intake at an ICE processing center is different from county booking and different from CDCR reception. ICE custody can start after an immigration arrest, a transfer from another detention facility, release from local criminal custody to ICE, or another federal immigration action. The public record focus is current civil detention location, not bail, county housing unit, state-prison classification, or a county booking photo. ICE ODLS may be the fastest public route, but it should be paired with facility contact when the question involves visits, counsel, travel, medical needs, or recent transfer.
