Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Adelanto ICE Processing Center
The public can look up a person held here through the official inmate search link available on this page. ICE facilities may not publish a standard county jail roster, but searchable records typically include the person’s name, custody location, custody status, booking or intake date, and case or charge-related information when available. For immigration custody, searches may also require the person’s A-Number or full name, date of birth, and country of birth. Records do not always appear immediately after intake. Processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly detained person may not be searchable right away. If no result appears, check again later or contact the facility or ICE for guidance.
