Locate Delaney Hall Detention Facility Releases

Delaney Hall Release Paths

Delaney Hall Detention Facility is the active ICE detention center at 451 Doremus Avenue in Newark. The GEO Group operates the site under contract. County OPRA and the ECCF lookup do not govern its custody. ICE’s Online Detainee Locator System, known as ODLS, is the correct public starting point. The immigration court record, ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line, and ICE records process provide additional routes when ODLS does not settle the outcome.

“Released from ICE custody” needs context. It may mean release into the community on bond or an order of supervision. It may also be connected to removal from the United States, transfer to another ICE facility, or another immigration outcome. An absence from Delaney Hall does not identify which event occurred. The destination record and case material are therefore as important as the facility exit.

Confirm Delaney Hall Releases

Search ICE ODLS with the nine-digit A-number and country of birth when those facts are known. An A-number is the federal immigration registration identifier. The alternate route uses exact first and last name, country of birth, and date of birth. Exact-name searches can fail because of spelling, order, hyphens, accents, or aliases, so the A-number route is usually more precise.

1. Confirm that Delaney Hall or ICE was the last known custodian. Do not begin with the county jail search.
2. Enter the nine-digit A-number and country of birth, or use the exact-name route with all required details.
3. Read the returned custody or recent-release information without assuming the final immigration outcome.
4. If the result shows another site, treat the event as a transfer and verify the receiving location.
5. Call ICE DRIL when ODLS does not resolve a recent, well-identified case.
6. Use the immigration case record, counsel, or a properly directed ICE records request for older or more detailed proof.

People under age 18 are excluded from ODLS. After the 60-day window, an online miss is expected and does not prove that no past detention or release occurred. Use an archival or records route rather than an unaffiliated listing.

Delaney Hall and ECCF Transfers

Delaney Hall and Essex County Correctional Facility sit on the same Doremus Avenue corridor, but they are separate legal and records systems. ECCF is at 354 Doremus Avenue and is run by the Essex County Department of Corrections. Delaney Hall is at 451 Doremus Avenue and is an ICE contractor site. Proximity does not merge their rosters, records offices, or release meanings.

An ICE detainer asks another law-enforcement agency for advance notice of release and for continued custody of up to 48 hours so ICE may assume custody. A detainer is a request. It does not itself prove that ICE made the pickup. If an ECCF record says “released to ICE,” the statement supports the end of county custody and points to a possible start of immigration custody. It does not support community release.

Check both sides of that handoff. Obtain the ECCF custody-exit or transfer entry, then search ODLS and seek ICE confirmation. If ODLS shows Delaney Hall, describe a transfer from county to immigration custody. If ODLS later shows release during its 60-day window, record that as a separate ICE event. Do not guess whether the later event was bond, transfer, removal, or supervision without the supporting record.

Note: A county release timestamp and an ICE custody result may both be correct because they describe two successive agency events.

Delaney Hall Release Contacts

The official ICE facility page is the best source for current facility information. ICE DRIL provides multilingual help with detention questions during its published weekday hours. For a release or transfer record, direct the inquiry to ICE rather than the Essex County OPRA custodian.

Use the A-number, exact name, country of birth, date of birth, facility, and approximate custody dates when asking for help. The immigration-court record may explain an order or case result, but it may not show the precise time physical ICE custody ended. ICE records supply that agency event. Counsel may be the most useful channel where case access is limited or an urgent legal issue exists.

Delaney Hall Release Source

The official ICE Delaney Hall page identifies the active Essex County immigration facility. The successful source capture below supports the facility-specific federal search route.

The ICE source also prevents confusion with the neighboring county correctional facility and its separate release-verification line.

The current Delaney Hall facility opened in 2025. Older records may point to a different institutional history on the corridor, while Essex County’s jail relationship with ICE ended in 2021. Use the event date and operator to select the right custodian. Current Delaney Hall records belong in the ICE lane.

Delaney Hall Release Meanings

Precise terms prevent a false claim about someone’s status. A transfer means one ICE site or agency gives way to another custody placement. Removal is an immigration outcome and should not be called community release. Bond may allow release subject to immigration proceedings. An order of supervision can place a person in the community under federal conditions. Each meaning requires its own source.

ICE detainer

A request for notice and temporary continued custody so ICE may take custody.

ODLS release

A recent end to reported ICE custody, subject to the locator’s 60-day window.

Transfer

Movement to another custodian or ICE facility, not freedom in the community.

Order of supervision

Community presence under immigration conditions shown by the governing paperwork.

When a record does not state the result, use restrained wording: ICE custody at Delaney Hall ended on the reported date, and the later destination was not verified. That description preserves what the source proves without filling a gap.

Older Delaney Hall Release Records

ODLS is especially useful for recent events, but it is not an archival released-person list. After 60 days, use ICE DRIL, the immigration case record, counsel, or ICE FOIA as appropriate. A records request should identify existing custody, transfer, or release documents rather than ask the agency to explain why a decision occurred. Include a narrow date period and the strongest identifier.

Build the request around the exact immigration custody episode. Give the A-number, full name, country of birth, date of birth, Delaney Hall location, and approximate admission and departure dates. Ask for the existing record that shows the end of detention at Delaney Hall and the destination or type of custody change. If ICE reports a transfer, seek the receiving location. If the response records release but not the form of release, use the case record or governing order for context. A facility departure record and a court order answer different questions.

BOP and NJDOC are separate systems. A BOP “RELEASED” result proves only that BOP no longer holds the person. An NJDOC Date Out-of-Custody proves a state event. Neither replaces ODLS for Delaney Hall. Likewise, the Essex jail lookup applies to ECCF, not ICE. The Essex County release search paths help distinguish these operators when the last known custodian is uncertain.

The U.S. Marshals Service can hold federal pretrial or court prisoners and may use contract facilities, but no comparable public USMS released-person locator was found. Use the federal docket or clerk for a federal release order, and use BOP only if the person entered BOP custody. A BOP status of IN TRANSIT is not release. Federal court movement, immigration detention, and county custody can occur in sequence, so record each agency event separately.

ICE’s official detention resources confirm the current and recent-release scope used for ODLS. Check that source when the locator’s labels or access rules change. For a result inside the window, preserve the exact reported wording. For a search outside it, use the records and case channels without treating the expected miss as proof of community presence.

Keep the date of every source. Immigration custody and court status can change after a locator result or record response.
